Loddon Valley FNLMatch Reviews | Marong is celebrating a senior footy premiership hat-trick in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL after Saturday’s hard-fought clash with Pyramid Hill at Mitiamo’s John Forbes Oval.

Hundreds of fans were at the ground to watch the historic match in which Marong aimed for a three-peat and Pyramid Hill tried to claim its first senior grand final win since 1950.

A strong breeze which pushed across the ground toward the scoreboard end meant it would not be a free-flowing contest.

The workrate of the Linton Jacobs-coached Marong to win or halve many duels for the footy was outstanding.

Pyramid Hill had the wind in the first term, but battled to break through a Panthers defence led by Matt Riordan, Jai Gretgrix, Sam Dean and Richard Tibbett.

The Bulldogs were first to goal through Zach Alford after a strong tackle.

Goals into the wind would be at a high premium.

A soccered shot by Ryan Wellington after the Panthers forced a turnover about 20 metres out put Marong in front, 8-6.
