Forecast 40 degrees Saturday, beauty! Penultimate round for LO2 to LO6.
A draw in LO2 will mean OTH's chances are shot, and last round has Enfield and Parafield square off for a finals spot. Also with Warriors having Sutton Derby last round, every chance they'll enter finals off the back of 2 weeks off.
Similarly, LO3 would have Andrews Farm and Peninsula Pirates play off for a home final, and then play each other the week after. Eyre Royals finals hopes will end with a heated out day Saturday.
LO4 unlikely but Parafield could potentially sneak into the 4 if Dublin are slapped by Fitzroy in Rd 18 - but would need a lot to go right.
LO5 not a lot between 2nd to 6th, and losing a game this weekend will hurt. Parafield play Athelstone in Rd 18 you'd expect them to win, Andrews Farm play Eastern Park and you'd expect them to win.. finally Pirates finish with ATCO and you'd expect them to win! Can't rule out Angle Vale against the bottom side OTH as well... Long shot, but Athelstone could drop from 3rd to 5th if results can badly enough against them.. unlikely.. but Andrews Farm and Pirates will both be seeking maximum points to ensure they can grab 4th spot.
LO6 the biggest shock for me has been the drop from Salisbury West! They looked a flag favourite early in the year, now find themselves in 5th place.. finish with Parafield though so you'd expect a BIG win - if they get some bats back, it could be a very very big score! Athelstone the biggest losers of the heated out game, miss playing Eyre Royals this week and finish with Fitzroy.
