Five into two won’t go!

By Brad Kingsbury
TWO spots in the Casey Cardinia League final five are still up for grabs and five sides are in the running for them after Saturday’s round.
Pakenham looks relatively safe after its great win over ROC and a solid percentage break over its rivals, however the Lions’ run home includes two of the tearaway top three and is the hardest (on paper) of the contenders.
At the other end, eighthplaced Berwick is in its death throws and was only included in the chances because of the mathematical possibility should it win its next four games and those above capitulate.
There’s more chance of John Howard joining a union!
Fifth position looks a realistic battle in three between Hampton Park, ROC and Devon Meadows, with this week’s results crucial to the outcome.
Injuries to key players will likely play a key role in the final makeup of the group that battles for the 2005 premiership, but it is down to the coaches and players now.
