This week games:
Warrnambool Vikings v Warrnam-bool Warriors
The Vikings have beaten all other teams this season and will continue their marauding way through the Warriors team.
Port Fairy v Glengleeson
The double rubbers will have a large bearing on this match. Both teams are evenly matched in the singles rubbers. The rubber between Pt Fairy’s Fergus Monsbourgh and Glengleeson’s Mark Murray also is a pivotal match winner, tipping the scales toward their team.
Orford v Tarrone
A lot depends on who each team brings to the table. Tarrone with either or both Terry Jago and Peter Johnston teamed with David Warhurst will be too strong for Orford with both youngster playing, David Rowbottom only in the doubles, a lot then rests on Russell Hussey’s shoulders.
Could be close either way.
Attunga v Myndarra
Attunga will be too strong for the Myndarra youngsters.
