Very important match for both teams. Kardinya looking for an important away win to help consolidate top spot on the ladder but they face a difficult task travelling to the Warnbro graveyard for away teams. I like the look of the Kardinya side but note that one of the Vinci party missing this week. Warbro on the other hand have had a difficult start to the season and will be looking to bounce back strongly this week. Despite a massive home ground advantage I think Kardinya could well pinch this one in a close one.
Kardinya 6-2

Kalamunda will be disappointed to drop last weeks match at Kardinya and will be looking to get things back on track this week at home. Some good news for Kalamunda with the return of Andrew Brandsma, not that the Brandsma rink needs strengthening given it is the only undefeated rink after 5 rounds. Thornlie playing well at home and I expect them to put up a pretty good fight but the class of Kalamunda should pull thru in the end.
Kalamunda 7-1

A lot of interest now in this one now after Dalkeith’s surprise 8 nil win over Rossmoyne last week. They have another match at home in another attempt to help get their season back on track. Rockingham ticking along nicely in 3rd place and will be looking to win this one to help consolidate their position in the top 3. The rink draw very important as Rockingham rely a lot on the young guns, Simpson and Currie to help win each week. Can Dalkeith contain them? Hard match to call but I think Dalkeith should have their confidence up and I think that they can pinch this one at home.

To put it pretty simply Rossmoyne were awful last week and they will need to get things back on track at home this week. I am sure Mayor Lang would have demanded some additional training sessions this week. It is certainly will not be easy as Willetton showing a lot of promise after 6 rounds. They look a well balanced side and this is probably a toss of the coin situation, however I will give Rossmoyne the nod at home.
Rossmoyne 6-2.

Probably the easiest fixture of the round to call. Cockburn with a strong home ground advantage and I expect that they will be too strong for Forrestfield. That said Forrestfield are very capable and they certainly cannot be taken lightly. However with Srhoy and the other Cockburn skippers likely to be in full flight the home team should be too good.
