Dimboola, Burras chase first victory
Both Dimboola and Minyip Murtoa will be playing for a bit of pride this Saturday, in a bottom-of-the-table clash.
Last time the sides played, nothing could separate them, with final scores locked at 8.8 (56).
In that game, Andrew Moore and Mitchell O'Donnell led the way for Dimboola.
At the same time, Thomas O'Dwyer was their main goal scorer, with three, while for Minyip Murtoa, Hamish McRae and Nick Cushing were the better players, with Oscar Gawith finding the big sticks for the Burras three times.
But this week it's all on the line, with pride at stake; unless it is another draw, it will be the first win of the season for the victorious side.
The game against Minyip Murtoa is off the back of Dimboola's loss to Nhill on Saturday.
Final scores in that game were Dimboola 3.4 (22) to Nhill 15.14 (104).
Dimboola didn't find the big sticks in that game until the final quarter, whereas their opposition kept their score ticking over, with a goal in the first quarter, six in the second, a further four in quarter three, and another four in the final term.
Better players for the losing side included Moore and Simon Hobbs, while their goals came from Moore, Jordy Laverty and Thomas O'Dwyer.
Nhill were best led by Lachlan Gill and Xavier Bone, with Drew Scheider and Frazer Driscoll each finding the big sticks three times for their team.
