Match Previews | TWO breed of Bulldog will fight for victory as Gisborne and Golden Square clash in the 18th and final round of the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL’s senior footy home-and-away series.

Both clubs have generated a tremendous rivalry across the past two decades and meet for the final time in Bendigo Bank Round.

It will be the last time Gisborne hosts Golden Square as they play at Melbourne North Truck Centre Oval in Gardiner Reserve.

The Rob Waters-coached Gisborne will start favourite, but will be wary of a Golden Square team which upset Strathfieldsaye last round.

A key for Gisborne will be more support for gun forward Pat McKenna in attack as the club builds up for another finals campaign.

McKenna kicked seven goals in last Saturday’s clash with Sandhurst to now lead the race for the Ron Best Medal as leading goalkicker by 13.

A Gisborne attack which includes Harry Luxmoore, Matt Merrett, Shane Clough and Dominic Sullivan will test Golden Square.

Players to watch for Gisborne include on-baller/mid Brad Bernacki, rover Flynn Lakey, Dylan Johnstone, and captain and key defender Zach Vescovi.

There was plenty to like about Golden Square’s performance to beat Strathfieldsaye by 39 points.
