Will it be back-to-back losses for the visitors, or can they bounce back and repeat its seven goal win in round seven when the teams last met. The Pigeons with a similar percentage as the Roo’s could also put pressure on for top spot with a win leaving them one game behind and ready to swoop if the Roo’s lost again.

Wodonga Raiders season is firmly on the line when they play host to Albury. A Raiders win will put them just half a game behind fifth placed Tigers. The Tigers were understrength last week in a loss to Wangaratta but should welcome back experienced pair Heidi Fisher and coach Skye Hillier.

The football action looks by ladder position to be a pretty regulation set of results with Raiders at home to Albury and Yarrawonga lining up Corowa Rutherglen.

The Pigeons have locked away the double chance in what has been a very solid and consistent year with a win over Wangaratta their season high thus far. Corowa Rutherglen’s lack of depth to replace key players injured has seen them gradually slide out of finals calculations and a tough day at the office looms. Leigh Williams who has not played since round eleven is close to a recall, with the week following this Saturday he is likely to wait until round sixteen for his return.

Wodonga Raiders will be buoyed by its thrilling final seconds victory over North Albury and being back at home could be a tricky opponent for the visiting Tigers. Albury lost no admirers in last week’s six goal loss to the Magpies. The Tigers though had some sore and sorry soldiers by end of the game and could miss a few.

The Tigers have a very tough final three rounds ahead of them and will be keen to lock away the double chance with a victory at Birallee Park. They currently sit two games and clear percentage ahead of both Myrtleford and Wangaratta Rovers for the valued double chance inside the top three.
