A point could decide Central Highlands leading pack

WHICH side will take a step away from the Central Highlands Football League's leading pack?Barely five per cent splits Hepburn and Buninyong, with both sides sitting on seven wins from eight matches.The winner will stay in touch with Bendigo Bank CHFL leaders Learmonth while the loser will slip back among quality chasing sides Daylesford and Waubra.Hepburn has the best attack in the league, averaging 136 points per match, while Buninyong kicks an average of 113.The goal kicking pair of Lee Cox and Andy McKay will still be the main targets despite the duo only kicking one goal between them for the Burras last week.Buninyong defenders Adam Scott and Mick McKenzie will have to be ready for a busy day despite the Porter Industry Bombers having the best defence in the competition.Hepburn will be weary of the amount of run that Rory Gilbert, Justin Orwin, Kenny Terry and Beau Guest can have from the Buninyong backline.Burras full-back Gary Byers will have a big job marking Bombers full-forward Andrew Tranquilli while Alan Ware and Craig Leehane will be forced to keep an eye on Eddy DenOuden.The mobile ruckman match-up of Hepburn's Salesi Uhi and Bomber Shane Lavery will be a highlight.Buninyong's playing coach Joe Gilbert has led by example in the midfield along with Jarrod Morgan and Billy Leskosek. For the Burras, Matt Peake and Matt Dillon continue to fight hard along with Danny and Jarrod James. Shane Rogan, Adam Bridges, Brendan Tudball and Ash Coulthard will also be important for Buninyong while John Comelli, Ross Mann, Danny Abbott and Brendan Sheppherd should not be discounted for Hepburn.With key match-ups all over the ground, the margin will be lucky to stretch beyond 10 points.*PREDICTION: Buninyong by one point.
