HAWKESDALE-MACARTHUR has travelled to Alexandra Oval on Saturday to win the battle of the Eagles against Ararat Eagles in round 11 of the Mininera and District Football League, 12.7 (79) to 9.13 (67).

Accuracy in front of the big sticks was key to Hawkesdale-Macarthur winning, along with its constant pressure on the home side when not in possession, giving the visitors a much-needed win on the road and kept control of its third spot on the ladder.
