RIDGEWATER and
Mitiamo showed
why theyre regarded as the two best
teams in the Loddon Valley
Football Netball League with
first-up wins on Saturday.
Both teams were tested by
their opponents in the first
half, before class took over in
the second half.
Reigning premier Bridgewater scored a 17.23 (125)
to 7.4 (46) win over Pyramid
Hill, while Mitiamo kicked
18.12 (120) to Inglewoods
10.8 (68).
Rookie Bridgewater
coach Marc Lindsay was
satisfied with the Mean
Machines victory.
Pyramid Hills ball pressure was spot on and they
came to play, Lindsay said.
It was a good hit-out
for us.
Bridgewater kicked the
final two goals of the second
quarter to grab a 20-point
lead at the main break and
then dominated the second
half, kicking 10.14 to 2.3.
We had plenty of the
footy, but let ourselves down
kicking 17.23, Lindsay said.
That just shows we have
to straighten ourselves up a
bit. In transition we coughed
the footy up more than
we expect.
New skipper Zeb Broadbent set the tone for the
Mean Machine.
The midfielder was
clearly his sides best player
in the first half when the
Bulldogs were at their
most dangerous.
Fellow midfielders Kyle
Chant and Lindsay were
damaging, with the coach
floating forward to kick
three goals.
Darren Clutton enjoyed
some time inside forward 50,
kicking four goals, while Rick
Ladson added two goals in
his first game in the LVFNL.
Despite the lopsided final
score, there were positive
signs for Pyramid Hill coach
Brad Fawcett.
Key defenders Michael
ONeill and Michael Dundon
did a great job on limiting
the influence of Bridgewater
key forwards Alex Collins
and Brad Rohde.
Midfielders Andrew
Dobby and Daniel Price won
plenty of the ball, while key
