King Weeroona Oval.The Dragons should go into the game with plenty of confidence after successfully chasing down Bendigo’s 263 at the QEO on the last day before the break.A victory for the sixth-placed Dragons today would draw them level on 30 points with the third-placed Golden Square.● Strathdale-Maristians will be aiming to rebound from its pre-Christmas loss to Strathfieldsaye when it hosts Huntly-North Bendigo at Bell Oval.However, the Suns will be without the BDCA’s most dominant player this season in Cameron Taylor, who is unavailable.With Taylor not playing, captain Linton Jacobs will step up to open the batting alongside the out-of-form Travis King.● Kangaroo Flat travels to White Hills aiming to kickstart its season.The Roos have won just one game, but have had the wood over White Hills for more than a dozen years.
