MERRIVALE’S senior footballers continue to dominate the Warrnambool District League competition.

With just four rounds of the home and away season remaining, the Tigers sit on top of the leaderboard with just one loss for the season – and percentage above Allansford in second.

The Tigers should be quietly confident of retaining top spot.

The final four rounds will see them face Russells Creek tomorrow (Saturday) before a big game against Allansford on August 2.

Rounding out their home and away fixture will be a round 17 game against Timboon (currently sixth) before a final-round clash against bottom-side South Rovers.

In the reserves competition, the Tigers currently sit fourth, equal on points but percentage above the fifth-placed Timboon demons

Merrivale’s senior netballers are also aiming to contest finals, with the Tigers’ A grade side sitting in second place (half a game clear of Allansford in third); A reserve also in second (behind ladder leaders Nirranda) and B grade currently in fourth.

With round one of the Warrnambool and District League finals series scheduled to start on Saturday, August 23, expectations of close contests are high.
