The Bendigo 2011 season begins

After a walkover and a second round bye, Bendigo finally got to start their season at Camberwell on Saturday.

With new coach Joel Evans (Sth. Aust.) and Mark Reader (Camberwell ) boosting the regulars from last year, an improvement on last years first up effort was expected. It took till half time to get the team settled into their new style of play and with Leigh Jordan, Corey Martin and James Dawson, all new to the game, things improved in the second half, finishing with a promising , 3 goal last quarter.
Great to see the President, Darren Sexton shaping up in goals, although he was champing at the bit to go forward and cause some damage!

All in all it was great to see Bendigo once again traveling to Melbourne, it is hoped the City clubs support our country cousins when their turn comes to travel up country. Camberwell proved to experienced and run out 21-4 winners -- bring on Malvern next week.
