Gippsland Times | EAST Gippsland football newcomer Boisdale-Briagolong will be hoping all the nerves of entering a new league are gone when it hosts Paynesville on Saturday.
The Bombers failed to score in the first quarter as opponent Stratford took a 27-point lead into the first break, a margin the Swans maintained throughout the match.
In the match of the round, Lindenow will host Stratford in a clash between the teams who topped the ladder at the end of last year's home-and-away season.
After stealing victory from the jaws of defeat last weekend against Lucknow, Wy Yung will welcome what should be a much easier task against Orbost-Snowy Rovers.
Lakes Entrance will host Lucknow on Saturday night.
