Match Previews | THERE’S more than premiership points to be won as Mount Pleasant takes on Heathcote in Saturday’s ninth round in Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine Heathcote DFNL senior footy.

The Blues and Saints will be playing for the Cliff and Peter White Memorial Shield.

Mount Pleasant holds the shield which was first played for in 1997 in honour of two great clubmen who drowned off the south coast of Victoria, along with Mark Bell.

On-field the Blues will be fighting to keep their unbeaten record intact when the clash at Toolleen kicks off at 2.20pm.

Mounts had the bye last round following a 47-point win at White Hills in round seven.

The Blues will be wary of a Heathcote line-up which has climbed to the third rung on a four-three record.

On-ball contests will be vital for the prospects of both teams.

The Mount Pleasant squad coached by Josh Hann, playing, and Cam Carter, non-playing, includes Jett Nicholas in the ruck, Xavier Carter, Jack Hickman, co-captain Caelan Smith, Brodie Montague, and Alex and Joel Wharton.

In attack the brilliant Ben Weightman has kicked 26 goals in six matches.

The Blues’ attack includes Brodie Leonard-Shannon, Mitch Bennnett and Oliver Bish.
