The VFLW Bendigo Bank Cats are set to play back-to-back matches at Deakin University following the release of the latest fixture block.

The Cats will host the Western Bulldogs and Essendon respectively in Rounds 9 and 10 at Deakin Univeristy Elite Sports Precinct in Waurn Ponds.

The May 1 and 8 fixtures will take place on Saturday afternoons as the Cats look to strengthen their grip on a top-four place.

The Cats have won their past three games in a row and sit fourth on the ladder, behind Essendon on percentage.

The Round 10 fixture marks the first time the Cats and Bombers will face off this year, but the Round 9 match between the Cats and Bulldogs will be their second encounter for the season.

The Cats comfortably accounted for the Bulldogs in their previous clash, keeping their opponents goalless in the 5.10 (40) to 0.6 (6) win at VU Whitten Oval.
