The Hawks claimed a valuable three points in Sunday’s clash at Truscott Reserve, while the Blues had to be content to share the points with Shepparton South after a nil-all draw.
A 73rd minute goal to Eaglehawk’s Nathan Hamblin broke a deadlock and gave the Hawks their seventh win from nine matches played.
An away match this weekend against Moama-Echuca Border Raiders awaits the Hawks, who have now strung together four consecutive wins.
At Beischer No. 1, undefeated Strathdale had to settle for a draw for the second week in a row.
