The North Ballarat Rebels travel to Burbank Oval, Williamstown at 11am this Saturday to tackle the Dennis Pagan coached Northern Knights in Round 18 of the TAC Cup Competition.
The last time teams met it was a very close affair with the Rebels winning by 4 points in the dying seconds of the game. Both teams are very evenly match on talent and we expect another close contest.
Currently the Rebels sit 5th on the TAC Cup ladder and the Knights are just outside the final 8. The Knights will welcome many of their school players back into their line up and will be extremely competitive and determined to continue to play well and have a chance of making the finals. The Rebels need to cement their place in the finals and need all players contributing ensure a top 8 position or the important double chance.
The Rebels will be without key position player David Astbury for this week’s clash who unfortunately is recovering from a bruise heel which he sustained from the Rebels last game.
