Gisborne got back on the winners list with a hard fought win against Strathfieldsaye in the Bendigo Football League on Saturday. The Bulldogs led by 23 points at quarter time before the margin was brought back to four points at the main break. Scoring was hard to come by in the second half, with each side kicking three goals each. The Bulldogs managed to do enough to come away with an 8.9 (57)-7.10 (52) win. Braidon Blake and Patrick Trotta were named the Bulldogs best.

RDFL

Macedon and Diggers Rest couldn’t be split on Anzac Day in the Riddell District Football League. One of two Anzac Day matches, the Cats were made to pay for inaccurate kicking as they had to settle for a draw with the Burras, 8.14 (62)-9.8 (62). The Cats scored 1.5 in the final quarter. Kyneton beat Lancefield in the battle of the Tigers in the other Anzac Day match. On Saturday, Wallan beat Romsey, Melton South made it two in a row against the Gisborne Giants and Riddell beat Melton Centrals. Woodend-Hesket had the bye.
