Only 2 games to go and we have interest at both the top and the bottom of the ladder. The upset result to North Beach now moves them from being a slim chance of demotion to a slim chance of finals. It's been that sort of year where one result can change the fortunes of your year. Doubleview in a strong performance at a club that hasn't been a happy hunting ground for them puts them on top, the upset loss for Cambridge gets rid of the advantage they had and it's a 3-way run now for top spot.
4th position is still up for grabs and Manning with their easier run home is there for the taking, but Osborne Park and now North Beach will press hard. I think Sorrento's days are numbered for finals, COVID restrictions have hit the club hard and severely impacted their season.
10th spot is secured, Safety Bay will be playing White next year. After a nervy forst 8 weeks they have acquitted themselves in the 2nd half of the year and will be a strong side in White next season. Look for them to bounce straight back in. 9th spot however is wide open. Kardinya with the critical loss and Mosman Park with the crunch win have seen them swap positions, both teams have a winnable game and a loseable one, so it's going to go down to the wire. I envisage Kardy to win this week and Mossies next week, so rinks will be vital. Going to be a crackerjack finish.
