Bombers up for the test against Kees, Rup meets Saints | HDFNL round eight

The second-placed Kalkee hosts the fourth-placed Bombers at Kalkee Recreation Reserve on Saturday, June 1, in a contest that could prove pivotal in deciding the pecking order at the top of the ladder at the end of the season.

"We just need to bring our attacking style of game, and just be up and about and encourage each other throughout the four quarters.

"It is a good test, we've just got to make sure that we a present and focused on our job at task."
