Warragul Gazette | Local teams are travelling to South Gippsland for round 11 of Mid Gippsland football, with Hill End taking on reigning premiers Fish Creek and Thorpdale facing a fork in the road match at Toora.

Fish Creek v Hill End
It's top versus bottom and that in itself tells the story.

You really couldn't give the winless Rovers any chance of winning this game on the home ground of the reigning premiers. However, I wouldn't be expecting Hill End to just roll over and give this one up either.

The Hillsmen, beaten by just four goals by another contender in Yinnar last week, proved that they are capable of being a frustrating opponent, at the very least, to shrug off.
Reflecting on the weekend, Hill End coach Adrian Burns said footy could be a cruel game.

"Last week, even with injuries, we showed we are capable," Burns said. "It's another big challenge this week against another good side, but my job is to get the team to be on their game for four quarters."

How the Rovers have not managed to steal a game remains a mystery, and that mystery is unlikely to be solved this week.

However, the contests in recent weeks - topped off by this weekend's challenge - may have the Hillsmen ready to go. Fish Creek coach Jarrod Walker labelled it "a danger game".

"From all reports, they gave Yinnar a real run for their money, so they will be full of confidence and ready to go," Walker said. "Hopefully, we can start getting a few troops back and have a solid performance."
