We begin at the Mounting Yard with the top of the table clash with the Mounters hosting the Roos. Mount Lawley enjoying a much more convincing win last week away at Sorrento, compared to Wanneroo just falling over the line at home to North Beach. Wanneroo are unchanged with Herriot out for the Mounters and Aiden “Kenny” Caccioppoli slotting in at 3rd to Munnelly who enjoyed a fruitful season together last year. Phil the Spill has enjoyed a good start to the season and with Cottier firing as well, Mount Lawley should be confident to get the job done at home. I think this one will be close, but going with the home side to remain the only undefeated team after three rounds.
Mount Lawley 6-2

Doubleview head back home to host North Beach in a game that has everyone guessing. The View got beaten by +20 shots last week and North Beach only went down by 2 shots away at Wanneroo. Last week it seemed like the DV Premier side had to borrow a few players due to some late outs, so with everyone back in, hopefully they put in a good show. North Beach proved last week they can’t be taken too lightly on the road, however, Heta very rarely loses at home and with experienced names like Thorn and Barry leading the way, I’m going to tip Doubleview to win this one. If they can’t get over the line in this game, although it’s an early call, I think they might be struggling to stay up
Doubleview 7-1

Both teams coming off a loss last week, however Quinns will be a lot more content with their efforts – just going down to Yokine on the road with Sorrento being soundly beaten at home against Mount Lawley. Quinns romped to a massive victory in Round 1 at home and Sorrento have yet to register a win. With experienced skips in Ward and O’Neil leading the way and Shane Smith topping the skip ladder at the moment, Quinns look to be the real deal this year and will be too strong for a struggling, travelling Swans side. I think this will be another 8 pointer for the Crays and Sorrento will be travelling back down the freeway with a donut.
Quinns 8-0

A few ex-teammates playing against each other here in the GAME OF THE ROUND. Looks like the Pioneers have done some position shuffling chasing that compatibility which is oh so important. Yokine come in with unchanged personnel but have done some rejigging themselves with Coffey stepping up to the skippers plate and D’Sousa slotting in at 3. Both Teams coming in to this game with a win and a loss, however Yokine have won more rinks than they’ve lost and North Perth going down to Warwick last week in a bit of a surprise result. Wouldn’t it be great to see Shane Shaw draw Ben Horwood and which ex team mate is Pommy going to do battle with? Surely this one is going to be close – I’m going to go with North Perth at home, Horwood and McKenna are quality skips and I reckon Pommy will grow another leg against his former team mates – but calling a close one under 10 shots
North Perth 7-1

Finally we’re off to the stable as Cambridge welcome Warwick. The Maggies will fly into this game with their beaks up after a good showing last week where they beat North Perth at The Nest. Cambridge are one of my flag favourites this year so this will be a much tougher proposition for Warwick as I don’t think many teams will win here. With the likes of Lewis, Bolton, Jones all having PL experience, I think the Knights will be too strong and I’d be surprised if Warwick head home with any points. Tipping a big score here and 8 points to the home side
