Match Previews | A SHOWDOWN between Huntly and Leitchville Gunbower highlights Saturday’s round 11 action in Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL senior footy.

It’s second against fifth on the Harlowe Huntly Hawks turf in Strauch Reserve from 2.30pm.

The Hamish Morcom-coached Hawks will be determined to consolidate their place on the ladder’s second rung.

Victory for the LG Bombers is likely to give it a two-win break on Lockington Bamawm United.

When these teams met in round two it was Huntly which won 60-48 at Leitchville.

The Hawks drew last Saturday’s home game with LBU.

Among the key match-ups in the Hawks and Bombers clash will be Huntly forwards Sam Dunstan and Abe Sladden against Chris Horman and Max Hagan.

The Hawks also have the experienced Harry Whittle and Jacob Greenwood in the forward 50m arc.

A highlight will be the ruck duel between Huntly’s gun recruit Nathan Dunstan and Cheatley medallist Jobee Warde.
