Undefeated Eagles rested
There is set to be some big scores registered when Mininera and District league ladder leaders take on the bottom rungs this weekend.
Ararat Eagles had a week off last weekend, with winning on forfeit against Caramut who was heavily impacted with COVID-19.
The week off would have given the Eagles some much-deserved rest and a chance to prepare for the remainder of the season.
However this week should be no trouble for the undefeated team when they travel to Moyston to play the Pumas.
Moyston-willaura is yet to win a game this season.
Their most recent loss was a 24goal beating at the hands of Lismorederrinallum.
Despite the best efforts of Patrick Frawley, Alex Close and Eric Wilson, the potential outcome does not look much better this week.
Second-placed Tatyoon will take on Caramut this weekend.
Despite last week’s forfeit, the Swans have only managed one win for the season.
Tatyoon, on the other hand, is flying and setting sights on a strong run into finals.
The Hawks made short work of SMW Rovers last weekend when they came out hot and kicked seven goals straight to no score in the first quarter.
They didn’t stop there, piling on another 13 goals for the game while the Bulldogs could only manage a single goal.
Anthony Rosato and William Henderson once again put in solid performances while Ben Clay did the damage in front of goal, booting six majors.
Hawkesdale-macarthur were eventual winners against Great Western, beating the home team by seven points.
Liam Hunter was the leading goalkicker for the victors, with three, while Lions’ Will Clark chimed in with four.
In other games, Woorndoo-mortlake will take on Wickliffe-lake Bolac after a solid win against Penshurst last week, and Lismore-derrinallum will be keen for another big win against Hawkesdale-macarthur.
Penshurst will be happy for redemption when they host Great Western, and Glenthompson-dunkeld will travel to Mininera to play SMW Rovers in what will be an important game for the Rams if they want to stay in contention for fifth spot.
Just two competition points separate fifth- and sixth-placed teams at this point of the season.
