Skippers records read as NAME (Win,Loss,Draw)
Well here we are the final round before finals and what a season it has been. The premiers are the only team guaranteed finals but will be looking for a home series next week. 4 of the top 5 sides are playing each other and who the last 3 sides will be trying to knock off the premiers is anyone’s guess. Leeming are heading back to white but who will join them? Cockburn who have been in the beef all year can get the challenge game so will all games being valid lets get into it

Both sides have been in the beef all year but Cockburn have it all to play for. 7 or 8 points here for the home side and will be hoping for a favour from the Lions game. Leeming its been a horrid season for them and will be glad the season is over but I think they may receive one more egg before they are done.
Cockburn 8-0

The Eagles will be disappointed getting heated off last week as they now cant finish on top but they can still get the double chance with a win. A loss for the home side means they could miss on finals pending on the Osborne Park result. Doubleview too wouldn’t be happy with the heated off result as their only hope is winning 8 zip and hope for the same result with Sorrento to get to safety. The 2 always have great games but I will go the home side.
Manning 6-2

Another beauty as the Saints host the Millers. The Saints have to win and get 7 points in order to jump the Millers but a 6-2 result would need Doubleview to knock over Manning. The Millers need at least 2 points in order to play the finals but will be looking at the double chance and possible even hosting the finals series if they can get a win. Should be a cracker I will go the home team but not sure if it will be enough.
Osborne Park 6-2
Sorrento v Bassendean

Ian O'Neill, Tony Cahill, Stein Davies, David Rhodes (73W ,74L ,5D)
Lloyd McKay, Matthew Watson, Russell Ellis, Simon Alden (71W ,66L ,6D) INS: No changes OUTS:
Once again Sorrento looking to hang on for at least another week as they host the Lions. Cockburn should beat Leeming so Sorrento have to win to play the challenge game otherwise they are straight back to white. The Lions once again have fallen in a heap and looks like the finish line will save them again. They just need a point to be certain but I think Sorrento might live to see another week
Sorrento 6-2

Kyle Cornell, Jeffrey Bessant, Shane Knott, Corey Bessant (42W ,24L ,3D) INS: Leggett OUTS: Morris
Match of the round to finish off as the Knights host the premiers. The winner of this one will not only finish on top but will host the finals and get the double chance. The premiers are guaranteed finals but a loss for the Knights they could miss out and would need a result to go their way. With Leggatt coming back into the lineup im going to go the premiers to host once again next weeks finals.
