CHAPTER three of the under-18s grand final rivalry between Maiden Gully YCW and Pyramid Hill will be written on Saturday.

For the third year in a row the Bulldogs and Eagles will play for the Loddon Valley under-18 premiership when they meet in Saturday's grand final at Calivil.

The Bulldogs have won the past two premierships at the expense of the Eagles, but are yet to beat Maiden Gully YCW in any of their three encounters this year.

The undefeated Eagles won their two home and away meetings by 22 and 14 points, and the second semi-final a fortnight ago by 35 points.

The Eagles' side features on-baller Mason James, who was a runaway winner of the league medal when he polled 35 of a possible 39 votes.

The under-18 grand final begins at 10.30am.
