Ocean Grove risks falling out of the top four if it loses to the undefeated and all-conquering Anglesea in round eight of Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association A1 Grade on Saturday January 22.
The Grubbers are inside the four on percentage and face Bellarine cricket’s toughest test.
Anglesea hasn’t even looked like dropping a game this season and won’t take the Grubbers lightly.
Inverleigh can jump into the four if Grove loses and it defeats Collendina.
The Kookaburras aren’t in great form and if Collendina can snag another win, it may just be enough to guarantee it will avoid relegation.
Jan Juc hosts Barrabool and a win would pretty much see it play finals.
Barrabool is starting to play the sort of cricket everyone expected of it.
It looks like being a close game with the battle between Kane Pickering and the Sharks’ bowlers being a mini-highlight.
Second placed Queenscliff can consolidate second spot with a win against bottom side St Leonards.
The Coutas are playing confidently which is in stark contrast to the Saints, who are struggling big time with the bat.
In A2 GRADE, Armstrong Creek (second) hosts Drysdale (first) in the match of the round.
The Titans can grab top spot with a win thanks to a superior percentage, but will have to combat Bailey Sykes first with the spinner already netting himself 25 wickets this season.
Winchelsea and Portarlington meet in what is shaping a huge game.
Winch is fifth and Port is fourth on the same amount of points. A win gives one side a buffer while the loser is playing catch-up.
Little River must defeat bottom side Newcomb to stay in finals contention while Barwon Heads travels to Wallington and will start favourites although the Wallable was on top in the round one encounter between the two sides before rain ruined any chance of a result.
