Considering I have both these clubs at opposite ends of the ladder, I feel this could be a big win to Wanneroo as they look for promotion at the end of the year. No major changes that I can notice.

North Beach away from home against a Sorrento that would be upset with their first round loss as one rink was a blow out in the end. It is rare for Dunstan to lose back to back games, likewise Post, so that would be a nice battle to watch.

Desmond Tutu gave me some advice last week and was upset with my predictions and with some inspiration, I am predicting Osborne Park win in a close match. Swan are an interesting bunch and they're always around the mark no matter what happens player base wise.
Tutu informed me that Osborne Park has potentially 4 premier league players, two over 60's state players and should be a force this season. If they want to finish top of the table, then this is a must win game.
I have a feeling Davis is going to be key to Swan's chances.

This is going to be a banger and is certainly the game of the round in my eyes. Quinns are just a touch too strong for this division in my eyes, they're a team that feels too good for One Blue and is just missing a piece or two for One White. Yokine last season had selection issues with their greens and players and escaped relegation late in the season. Both teams have some solid 3/4 combinations and it will be a case of which front end sets up their backend bowlers.
Berecz is still the key to this Quinns team, contain that rink and you're a chance.

Morley will be happy to be back on their home deck, but will struggle against a strong North Perth lineup. North Perth with the new addition of Kay in the off season have also added Newstead as a third and last season's skip in Dixon as a second. If North Perth wants to fight for a top 3 spot, they need to win these games.
