DVAC is in a battle with Eaglehawk for second place in the Premier Division. Clearly the Bendigo club want the second place back after the Valley pushed them into third place in Round 6. In Round 8 Eaglehawk finished in second place with DVAC in third place; that means the two clubs are tied on 76 points for the season. At this point DVAC still holds onto second place for the season, leading Eaglehawk by a score of 7,542.

AVSL Rd1: NEW SEASON STARTS WELL AT THE VALLEY

By the end of competition the Valley was listed 5th on the 10 team Premier League ladder. This gave our club 6 valuable points for the Round. A year ago, DVAC finished Round 1 in 8th position and earned only 3 points. It was a long hard slog before DVAC worked clear of the threat of relegation and finished the 2020/ 2021 season in 5th place. This year we are much better situated to build toward a top four spot on the ladder and the right to take part in the AVSL finals.
