Belvoir Park had been most impressive in winning its first two rounds, but Bendigo had the better of the ladder leader at Neangar Park.
Bendigo won 4.5 to 0.5 with Brent Rothacker scoring an impressive 3-2 victory over young gun Braiden Conner.
Bendigo now faces defending champion Neangar Park (1) next Sunday.
Neangar Park (1) survived a scare from club mates Neangar Park (2), winning 3-2.
Neangar Park (1) star Justin Williams defeated James Rogers 3-2 to put himself into the lead in the division one player of the year award ahead of Axedale’s Hayden Nielson.
In division two, Neangar Park (S) remains undefeated after demolishing Neangar Park (J) 4-1. Led by the undefeated Sam Baker and Nick Bell, Neangar Park (S) will book a final berth if it wins its round four clash.
Belvoir Park’s defeat to Castlemaine opened up the race for second spot.
Axedale skipped clear in division three after a drawn contest with Castlemaine.
With Castlemaine already having a bye, it would appear Axedale, Castlemaine and Belvoir Park will fight it out for the two finals spots.
