With another big round of local footy to come, we’ve dived into the Yarra Valley Water Vault and taken a quick look at a few head to head results of match-up’s taking place this weekend.
Blackburn vs Rowville Head to Head
Blackburn – 8
Rowville – 9
One of the biggest games of the round is Blackburn’s clash with Rowville.
The two sides have a very even record against one another with the Hawks win over the Burners in 2022, making it nine wins from 17 outings.
Just five years ago, they faced off in an Elimination Final in the top division. Despite scores all tied at Half Time, Blackburn went on to kick eight goals to three in the second half to run out 38-point winners. During that year, Blackburn would fall agonisingly short of a Grand Final appearance, losing in Extra Time by five points to South Croydon in the Preliminary Final.
As for Rowville, It wasn’t until last year that the Hawks broke their finals drought at the highest level.
Donvale v Coldstream Head to Head
Donvale – 6
Coldstream – 3
The tenth time these two sides have met at senior level.
They played off in last year’s Elimination Final where Donvale won by 50 points with a big second half performance at Jubilee Park.
They’re currently enjoying a four game winning streak over the Cougars, looking to stretch that out further tomorrow afternoon.
Ferntree Gully v Whitehorse Head to Head
Ferntree Gully – 12
Whitehorse – 15
Up until their first encounter this season, Ferntree Gully had a streak of seven wins against the Pioneers.
Whitehorse still have a slight edge over Ferntree Gully in head-to-head meetings, 15 to 12.
Surrey Park v Kilsyth Head to Head
Surrey Park – 9
Kilsyth – 23
Draws – 2
After 34 meetings, the Cougars have dominated when playing the Panthers, winning 23 times. However, in recent times, it’s been Surrey Park with the wood on Kilsyth, winning four out of the last six.
The last time the two sides met, earlier this year, they finished with a draw, 65-65.
