Manning really finished the 2nd half of the year very strongly, perhaps next season they start practicing in September and they should be ready go go in November. This round the 2nds became skippers but it didn't affect them at all as they were too strong for Sorrento to win by 21 shots. It's hard to judge Sorrento on this performance leading into the finals but I'm sure they would have preferred to win this match and not lose it, especially to a team that had flipped it's team around.

Osborne Park just too strong for the home side Cambridge to win by 26 shots, ensure top spot and the home final and continue their great form. They have won 10 of their past 11 games and 3 of them by a sole shot. It shows they know how to win the tight ones which is a good omen leading in to a finals series. Cambridge were valiant, Blake Nairn had a nice win over Cody Packer but for them it was a year of what ifs, 8 games were decided by under 10 shots, and they lost 7 of them. It highlights how important winning the close games are. Osborne Park played in 10, losing 1 and drawing 1.

Another team to flip their players, Doubleview in this case the leaders and skippers swapping positions and again and it seems to have done their winning chances no harm with a solids 18 shot win. Unlike Manning they flew out of the gates but had a horrible 2nd half of the season winning only 2 of their last 9 games, and those against the demoted clubs. Hearing some positive rumours around Doubleview as they need to get some back end back to the club, it won't take much for them to be back on the top. Rossmoyne have been very competitive this year and won more games than the 9th placed Bassendean so they will be strong again in White and push for promotion.

The long and sorry season for Bassendean ends in a win but they will be playing in White next year. A very similar side finished in 2nd last year but they started the year very badly with only 1 win before Xmas and were not able to recover. 2 draws again South Perth hurt but ultimately it was more than that which saw them demoted. North Beach again competitive away from home but not winning, they need to work on that in the off season, having their huge home ground advantage works for you at home but against you away, and gradually teams in Premier League will get used to it and away teams will start winning at North Beach. They finished 7th with 8 wins and a chance to build on that for next season.

South Perth did what they needed to with a 11 shot 7 point win over fellow finalists Kardinya but with Osborne Park losing they finished 2nd, a double chance but away from home. I think South Perth have been top 2 all season so it's a great achievement by them. Kardinya will be disappointed to lose but they are striking some form at the right of the year and they will be competitive in the Elimination final.
