Skippers records read as NAME (Win,Loss,Draw)
Two thirds of the way through and we are now getting to the business end of the season. The Saints and the Lions are the only 2 other teams that can make the finals and I think we will know their fate in a couple of weeks time. Sorrento look to be safe for the challenge game with former premiers Doubleview with some real work to do if they want to hang on. Couple of crackers this week so lets get into it.
Mount Lawley v Leeming
Mount Lawley
Travis Ingram, Phillip Park, Shane Loftus, Daniel Trewhella (182W ,87L ,8D)
Paul Sinden, Chris Schell, Mark Masel, Ben Leggett (32W ,14L ,0D)

Robert Lipple, Alexander Hodge, Marcus Bowden, Lionel Mundri (2W ,0L ,0D) INS: Vandersluys, Johnson OUTS: Eather, Bertei
The premiers with a real opportunity here to set themselves in strong position to defend their flag. They have the bottom 2 sides at home over the next 2 weeks and will be looking for as Many points as possible. Leeming can go for this as it would be the upset of the season if they could pull this off but I think we might see an egg
Mt Lawley 8-0
South Perth v Doubleview
South Perth
Nick Reagan, Tom Antonio, Troy Kinnane, Graeme Wishart (158W ,104L ,11D)

Michael Leed, Bradley Pearce, Addy Wetzler, Anthony Williams (58W ,51L ,8D) INS: Leed OUTS: McIlroy
Big game here for both as the Millers host the View. The Millers leading the field will want to continue their run and stay on top. Doubleview are in all sorts and should one of the bottom teams get up they could find themselves in the beef should they lose this one. The Millers wont take the View lightly by any means but they should get the job done.
Sth Perth 6-2

The Saints with it all to do to stay in the hunt for the finals. Big couple of weeks as they host Cockburn this week then head over to take on the Eagles so will be important for them to get as many points as possible. Cockburn just 4 points out of from safety and would love to get a win here to possibly keep them alive. Saints at home though I cant see an upset happening here today
Osborne Park 7-1

The Eagles after going down at home last week head over to take on Sorrento. They lose this one today it could start to get a bit interesting. Scotty Walker and Nathan Jones are back in but Kristina is out who thus far has been their best skipper. No problems though as in comes Cody Packer who is back from his stint over east. Sorrento would love to get the win today and edge their way closer to safety for another year but im going with the Eagles.
Manning 7 -1
Bassendean v Cambridge

Grant Allen, Scott Palmer, Deb Saunders, Blake Nairn (83W ,49L ,4D)
Stuart Lofthouse, Don Leeson, David Jones, Kevin Crowle (3W ,4L ,0D) INS: Augustson OUTS: Manning
Our final game and it’s the match of the round as the Lions host the Knights. The Lions their season is on the line here as if they lose this one I think they are done. Rhodes still out and Wayne Neilson also now out they boys are really going to have to dig deep to get over the line. The Knights have been in great form storming up the ladder and will be looking to keep that going with another win here today. Normally I would go the Lions at home but they are understrength and the Knights certainly have the momentum and I think can walk away with the win
