Nail-biting finish to the season
THE final week of the Orford and District Table Tennis competition before finals will see a fight for fourth position on the ladder.
If Attunga and Myndarra both win their games, they will join Koroit on the same number of points – with only percentage separating them.
Koroit, with the poorer percentage, could drop out of the four.
The two Warrnambool teams are set to play each other, with the winner to be awarded the minor premiership.
Glengleeson will have their final chance to open their account when they take on Tarrone in the last round.
Results from week 13 were:
Warrnambool Vikings defeated Orford 8.27-3.9.
Orford’s Russel Hussey proved that the Vikings players aren’t unbeatable when he won his three rubbers.
