Kardinya with a bullet take on the unpredictable Cockburn side in what should be an exciting clash. No sign yet of the Kardinya team however the introduction of the Henley/Flintoff combination in recent weeks seems to have turned their season around. To be fair they were a likely top 3 side come the end of the season (and Danny Comrie was also flying) but suddenly they have all the momentum and are looking very hard to stop. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the words No Changes underneath the Cockburn side this week. A settled 16 is always a good sign and whilst Cockburn will push hard I cannot see them troubling Kardinya at home.

Both teams coming off some pretty poor form from the previous week. The biggest surprise for me was the duck egg next to the Willetton score sheet at home last week given that they had enjoyed a very consistent season to date in their first season back in One Blue. They will be desperate to rebound this week but must travel to Thornlie who play their home deck very well. A couple of weeks back I might have thought that Willetton could win this one but at home I think Thornlie will go in as strong favourites. I think Willetton will bounce back strongly this week and a win is not beyond them but Thornlie will be too strong in the end in a close match.

Rockingham have fallen of a cliff in recent weeks undoing some good earl season form where a top 3 position looked to be in their grasp. They take on Kalamunda who suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Dalkeith last week and forfeited top spot in the process. No Stuart Currie this week for Rockingham and that is not a good sign as they attempt to rediscover their top form. I think the loss at home last week will jolt Kalamunda back into top form as they try and reclaim top spot from Kardinya. In the end they should have too much class and should come away with a good win against Rockingham

Dalkeith with the upset last week at Kalamunda whilst Warnbro were back in good form at home to record a much needed win. Dalkeith look to be on a bit of a roll after a very sluggish start to the season. If they can make it 3 in a row they will give themselves a very good chance of exiting the bottom 4 sides. Warnbro can’t seem to bring their home form on away trips but if they are going to survive this season they will likely need to pinch an away win. On paper the Dalkeith side looks to pretty solid with leading skippers in Martin Saunders and Jesse Brown always very competitive. I think that at home they should record a pretty comfortable win over Warnbro.

When you get 2 home games in a row and you are in the bottom 4 sides you really do need to take advantage of them and this could be Forrestfield’s moment after a good win last week. Equally you probably don’t want 2 away games in a row as you fight for survival and this is the scenario facing the Rossmoyne side this week. Mayor Lang and his capable deputy Reza Vind will try and wind up the Rossmoyne player group to try and record a much needed away win. A loss this week will make things very difficult and to be honest it would take something pretty herculean to turn things around. I can’t see it happening and will tip Forrestfield to record a pretty comfortable win.
