Last round battle for fifth

NIRRANDA looks set to finish the Warrnambool District League home and away season on top of the ladder.

The side, which will face the ninth-placed Old Collegians tomorrow (Saturday), have set the benchmark in season 2024 with just two losses for the year.

The final round of the home and away season will be a crucial one for three sides battling for fifth spot.

Dennington (fifth), Panmure (sixth) and Kolora Noorat (seventh) all sit equal on 24 points with just percentage separating the three.

The final round will see Dennington take on second-placed Merrivale, Panmure will host Allansford (fourth) while Kolora Noorat will take on Russells Creek (third).

The outcome of all three games will determine which of the three clubs earns a spot in the finals series, set to commence next week.

Finals venues are expected to be announced next week, pending the outcome of this weekend’s games.
