WGCA tips – final round

By Ian Ferguson
A nailbiting end to the homeandaway season looks certain as six teams have a chance of playing in the finals if results fall their way.
Merinda Park hosts Emerald in what was expected to be the battle to avoid relegation.
However, following the Cobras’ impressive win at Pakenham last week, the host team is unlikely to slither out of Agrade ranks and should record its second win in a row.
Beaconsfield hosts Tooradin in a vital game as the loser could forfeit a finals’ appearance.
This will be a tense and close encounter, but the visitors have more depth in both bowling and batting and should narrowly prevail.
Devon Meadows and Catani are close on points and the Blues have some chance of seeing March action if they defeat the home side convincingly.
Catani is tipped to win, but perhaps not by the large margin it needs.
Kooweerup also requires a big win to maximise its finals chances and it has some hope of achieving that desired result when it hosts Pakenham.
In B grade the top of the table appears to be entrenched and results in round 11 may not significantly alter team positions.
KilcundaBass will however need to win well at Tooradin and Beaconsfield should eclipse the improving Bulls at the Cardinia ground.
Agrade results, with the likely winners in capitals: MERINDA PARK v Emerald, Beaconsfield v TOORADIN, Devon Meadows v CATANI, KOOWEERUP v Pakenham, Pakenham UpperToomuc v CARDINIA, OFFICER v Clyde.
