E Grade with their win on the weekend will now take on top of the ladder Leopold. If they are able to secure this win they go straight into the Grand Final. If they lose, they will play the following Saturday against the winner of Sunday's match (St Marys or Newtown).
Our U17 Div 2 team will need to beat Newtown on Sunday to stay in the finals as their final is an elimination final.
