Match Previews | BRIDGEWATER will attempt what no other A-grade netball rival has done the past two seasons by ending Mitiamo’s unbeaten run in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL grand final on Saturday.

The Mean Machine will take on the formidable Mitiamo team from 3.15pm on court one at Gadsden Finance Serpentine Reserve.

In the home-and-away series the Jen Wilson-coached Mitiamo beat Bridgewater in the round seven match at John Forbes Oval by 14 goals.

The Superoos then bound their way to a 77-45 victory on Bridgewater’s court in the 16th round.

Mitiamo marked a 62-50 win against Newbridge in the second semi-final at Calivil to book another grand final appearance.

It’s been a much tougher run for Bridgewater to feature on that one day in September.

A 39-41 loss to Newbridge in the qualifying final, Bridgewater hit back for a 53-41 victory against Pyramid Hill in the first semi-final.

The Carly Wild and Lou Dupuy-coached Bridgewater then turned the tables in a 48-42 win against Newbridge in the preliminary final.
