Skippers records read as NAME (Win,Loss,Draw)
Only 3 and a half points separate the top 4 as we head into round 12. We have some real good games this week that will determine things as we get down to the business end of the season. Down the bottom end I think the new comers are all but certain to be going back to white and former recent premiers the View will have to fight to retain their spot. Sorrento still have some hope but need to keep winning so lets get into the fixtures.

Although these 2 are out of the mix there is still plenty to play for. Cockburn will be desperate to win this one and to try and get some home form going while Sorrento after returning to the winner’s circle last week can close the gap to safety if they can get the job done. Anyone could win this one it’s a flip of the coin but im going the visitors.
Sorrento 6-2

Stuart Lofthouse, Don Leeson, David Jones, Kevin Crowle (3W ,3L ,0D) INS: Manning OUTS: Augustson
1st v 4th As the Eagles host the Knights. Manning will be looking to get a win and stay on top of the ladder and head into this one with an unchanged lineup as both Jones and Walker are still out. The Knights have been going great guns in recent weeks and will be looking to continue the form against the leaders. Manning at home though I have to go them
Manning 6-2
Leeming v Osborne Park
Leeming
Brian Eather, Peter Boys, James Bowden, Gary Ford (2W ,8L ,0D)
Wayne Birrell, Leon Bertei, Paul Hickey, Karl Vandersluys (4W ,7L ,0D)

The Saints after getting a much needed win will be looking to back that up as they head to Leeming. 10 points out of the 4 should they lose this one would just about make finals out of reach. Leeming all but certain will be going back to white but can play quite freely in this one. Never easy to get points on the Leeming surface but I will still go the visitors.
Osborne Park 7-1
Doubleview v Mount Lawley

Kyle Cornell, Guy Herriot, Jeffrey Bessant, Corey Bessant (39W ,21L ,3D) INS: Morris, Herriott OUTS: Loftus, Jones
Doubleview returning home to take on the premiers and really it’s a must win if they are any hope of avoiding the challenge game. The Mounters just a couple of points from top spot but are missing Jones and Loftus this week. In desperation im going for the View to dig deep and find a way to win
Doubleview 6-2

A real barn burner to finish off with as the Lions host the Millers. The Lions after going down last week will be looking to reclaim their top 4 spot with a win. The Millers after going down last week will want to get back in the winners circle and could go back on top if they can get the win here today. The Lions did win their first clash and will go in confident and I think they will sneak this one to in a close one.
