THE Bendigo Bank Bombers have signed a new two-year alignment agreement with Essendon, ensuring the club’s participation in the VFL until at least 2011.

However, after persisting with it for five years, the club will scrap its reserves team, while it will also have a new senior coach next season.

Adrian Hickmott has spent the past two years in the dual role of Bendigo senior coach and Essendon development coach.

Hickmott will remain in his development coaching role with Essendon, but a new Bendigo coach will be appointed for 2010.

With the new alignment deal announced after months of negotiations, it continues a partnership between Bendigo and Essendon which began in 2003.

“We’ve again formed a two-year relationship with Essendon, which is a deeper relationship than what we’ve had in the past,’’ Bombers chairman David Joss told The Advertiser yesterday.

“Structurally we will be doing things a little differently.
