Finals spots up for grabs

Some important BPCA A1 Grade matches loom tomorrow as the battle for the top four really heats up.

Ocean Grove and Inverleigh are on the same amount of points (27) and are only separated by a relatively small amount of percentage.

They meet each other and six points would go a long way to securing a finals berth while the loser will have to play catch up.

Second placed Jan Juc travels to Queenscliff, which is in third spot.

Again, the winner will be in the box seat to finish in the top and earn a home final.

At the other end of the ladder, Barrabool has won two in a row and needs to win every game to even have a hope of playing finals.

The Bulls host St Leonards and in the two sides’ only encounter so far, the Saints prevailed for their only win of the season.

Unbeaten Anglesea travels to Ocean Grove to meet Collendina.

It’s difficult to see Collendina winning this and it’s likely the Snakes will have to wait until next week when they meet St Leonards with the winner likely to avoid relegation.
