Whitewash from White Hills leaves Huntly out of the hunt

[Mobbenfuhrer]

Opening round of the Heathcote DFL and White Hills pound their way emphatically to the head of the ladder, after bathing drying and powdering Huntly.

White Hills 25.14.164.
Elmore Huntly 3.1.19.
A 145 point win to the Hills.

Last year's runners-up Lockington-Bamawm United were unable to get close to Colbinabbin, the latter winning 16.9.105 to 9.12.66.

The closest match of the round resulted in a 5-point win to Elmore, 14.14.98 to Broadford 14.9.93.

Heathcote 16.9.105 defeated North Bendigo 11.16.82.

The match was actually played out Raywood because of how Huntly apparently resembles a dustbowl.

Did that make LBU feel any more like a part of the league? Raywood's a bit closer to Lockington than any of the other HDFL locales.

Raywood was where the old Northern United were based, right? The mob that now form half of Calivil United?

I reckon that Colbinabbin would be white-hot favourites to win the 2003 premiership, due to the fact that they have picked up 6 of Rushworth's best players (including good friend, Danny Irwin, who kicked 8 goals in his Colbo debut).

As far as Huntly's concerned, they won't be the only one's in the HDFL who'll have to move home games to other grounds due to the drought,(most of the ovals in Bendigo apart from the QEO and the Tom Flood sports centre are bone dry) Broadford's now on stage 10 water restrictions, meaning that they cannot water thier oval at all, so they're thinking of playing games in Seymour of Kilmore so they can have a decent ground to play on.

Until the drought breaks, this is going to be a tremendously tough year for country football.

Yep and yep.

And Bendigo started stage 3 restrictions today.

Cool thanks!
