That shows just how close the competition is and once again all five of this weekend’s games will have a bearing on the top five.
On Saturday Canowindra hosts Binalong in a game the former side should win while the third-placed Condobolin Rams, who are on a roll and at home, face a desperate Eugowra Golden Eagles unit, four points adrift of the top five and needing a win to remain a finals hope.
On Sunday the match of the round sees the Cargo Blue Heelers, coming off two losses, take on the Grenfell Goannas, who lost to Condobolin last weekend.
Four and fifth on the ladder respectively, this game is supremely important to both sides’ finals hopes which makes for a top game at Cargo Oval.
The Blue Heelers still have a game in hand so a win in this one still will give them a chance of a top three spot.
The Boomers should be too strong for the Burrangong Bears, sitting 10th, and Manildra should come away from their road trip to Peak Hill with a win.
In youth league Grenfell plays Binalong at Canowindra while Trundle, Manildra and Condobolin have byes.
In league tag on Saturday Canowindra plays Binalong and Condobolin takes on Eugowra.
