If that was the case then Hampton United would be in.Edi-Asp will be the fly in the ointment as they could derail a few teams.Who knows I might have put the mozz on Kingston Heath.If HU do make finals it would be a great effort.

Not so. If it were the case, East Sandy would win one less game and still make it. Anyway, tips for the weekend are:
In Longmuir:
Wests at home over Wash Ups
Union to upset the Elwood applecart
Le Page to sneak home in a nailbiter
East Sandy very easily in the Grand Final rematch
The Machine to bounce back over the in-form Uniting
ANA should account for the Redbacks

In Woolnough:
Cluden to roll ANA in a minor upset
East Sandy to start pushing for a finals berth over last year's premiers
Kingston comfortably over Hampton United
District to upset Union in the battel of the Brightons
Omega to roll Moorabbin West
and our boys should get the points over Southside.

Good luck on the weekend gents.

Huge round in Woolnough. East Sandy sit in 10th and are a realistic shot at a finals berth. Even after a disappointing loss, the door is well and truly open to them. Lock KH & MW for the top 2 spots. Union's upset loss leaves them vulnerable. The no result game might be their saving grace when it gets down to it. Next few weeks will be very interesting.

Longmuir results have made it very intersting in the top grade as well. ANA are now gone. Wash Ups will find it hard and Uniting can't really afford another slip up. Elwood may have peaked too early. With Mackie & East Sandy in their remaining games they're no certainty to play finals now.

Looking forward to a bumper few rounds of cricket to come in the top 2 grades.

Bentleigh ANA are proud to host the inaugural "Battle of Glen Eira" Twenty20 competition on Sunday, January 25th (Australia Day Long Weekend).

The competition consists of 4 clubs, being Bentleigh ANA, Bentleigh Uniting, Washington Park & West Bentleigh, with two knockout matches being played in the morning, followed by the final in the afternoon.

A junior Twenty20 match will also be conducted.

Drinks and food available at the canteen, including a daiquiri machine. ANA's poker tournament will follow for anyone interested.

Everyone is welcome.

Stealing some thunder there Sugar...? Much like Omega have the last Sunday in November, Mackie has held their $1,000 draw on the Australia Day weekend for as long as I've known. Good idea though. Hope it grows legs. The old Battle of Bayside used to be a good day's cricket.

As Rodney Dangerfield once said:

Like what you're doing here Sug, very informative (got the points on the ladder wrong though) but you need to jazz it up a bit with some rumours and innuendos.

Even just some good sledging that was heard over the weekend.

How competitive has the last few weeks of the Woolnough season been!
The last 3 games will throw up some more interesting results. Brighton Union are no longer certainties to make the finals and all the way down to 11th place on the ladder Brighton District who are now 3-5 (won last 3) are a mathematical chance of making the finals.
Big win by Highett West, Mick yesterday. Kingston Heath are defiantly beatable as u boys showed. Saw u made some runs. Kingston Heath and Moorabiin West the only safe bets for the finals. East Sandy has the best draw in the run home. Look forward to some more interesting results....

Very good win by Flahive and his boys, i played both West and Heath in practice games before this season started and i had the Heath streaks ahead of the Westers.
I don't know what Mick and his boys have done to bridge the gap but well done.
