THIS week’s match of the round is between the undefeated Kyabram and it’s number one challenger, the Shepparton Bears.
Every time Kyabram appear to have a genuine challenger, they quickly set the record straight. The last time they met back in round six, the Bombers were seven goals up at quarter time with the eventual margin being 66 points. It’s an understatement to say the Bears need to start well.
Form is irrelevant in the GVFL when your next opponent is Kyabram and if Shepparton go into this game relying on the confidence of last week’s demolition of United, they will end up with the same result as last time. They need to be unconventional and bold if they want to get close. Shepparton will most likely play Kyabram three times over the next two months so they have to make a statement.
In other games, Mansfield will be too strong for Seymour at home, Rochester will defeat a United side that will bounce back at Moon Oval, Euroa will travel to Shepparton and defeat the Swans comfortably, Tatura will give Moorooona a lesson at the Cattery and in what will be a beauty, Echuca will just sneak over the line at Victoria Park, Echuca.
