In the first battle of the Bulldogs clash for 2022, Golden Square locked in a 174-point victory over North Bendigo to pick up where they left off last season, final scores 27.13 (175) over 0.0 (1).

Golden Square coach Todd Deary said his team's strong forward line helped lock in the squad's first victory of the season.

"Even though the score was 175 to one, North Bendigo played really well and never gave up," Deary said.

"They just didn't have anyone that was able to convert and the final score doesn't indicate their great effort and potential.

"However, our strength up on the forward allowed us to have multiple avenues to goal which made it very difficult for North."

Emily Collins and Michelle McCready led Square's goalkicking with four each, followed by Amanda Carrod, Mia Ward and Monique Williams on three each.

Carrod led best on ground followed by Jessica Cox, Keely Hare, Ward, Letisha Stewart and Collins.

"Carrod and Cox were dominant across the middle, meanwhile Carly Geary played well in the ruck in addition to our new recruit Keely Hare who stood up and showed great potential," Deary said.

North's best on was led by Samantha Bice, followed by Sophie Perkins, Jasmine Leech, Taylah Nicholson, Sarah Creeley and Mikala Creely.

Square now faces a three-week wait before their next game due to the Easter break which is then followed with their round three bye.

"Seeing as our next game isn't until May 1 we'll definitely do more game-based activities at training sessions," Deary said.

"We'll also focus on hitting our targets on the field and being able to hold a few more tackles as we let a few slip on the weekend."

North's next game is at home on Sunday April 22 against Bendigo Thunder.
