Well after this weekend we will have completed a full Round of fixtures and the ladder will start to take shape with an accurate reflection of where teams sit. We see a log jam of sides on 6-2 with percentage playing a big part in the ladder positioning. Also will be tough in the relegation battle where no side wants to be. It can set up an exciting second half of the season.
In better news, as mentioned last week, Mr Tony Galati was given approval for his new store down in Australiand. With the possibility of a store in Midland and O'Connor and the new Morley store opening soon, business is booming. That means soon you won't have to travel far to enjoy the goodness this man has on offer.
Enough of me giving MrM's personal sponsors a plug, time to get into some more B Grade action.
Hamersley Carine v Kingsway @Carine Open Space
With both sides coming off hard fought wins last weekend this game will a big test for both sides. Hamersley came from behind to get a win over Stirling and showed they can not be counted out of the race for the top 3, they will be out to make a big statement this weekend. Kingsway gave themselves some breathing room from the relegation zone and now only sit 1 game off the top 5. A win here this weekend is vital to keep up that touch with the 5. Hamersley should be too good here though.

Swan Athletic v Stirling @Fawell Park
Swan Ath have stumbled in recent weeks losing 2 out of their past 3 games and have also slipped down from being perched on top of the ladder and now sit third. No doubt they would be disappointed with those results and gain back the percentage they have lost from those losses. Stirling have put up improved performances each week, but have come up short. They risk falling to far behind the rest of the competition if they lose this weekend. Swan Ath another side on a mission this weekend looking for a big win.

Whitford v Maddington @MacDonald Reserve
Another important game for these two sides. Both desperately need a win, and both can't afford to lose. Whitford sit dangerously close to relegation and it will be win at all costs for the rest of the season to either try and push for finals or to avoid relegation. Maddington might not be able to reach finals, but I saw enough last week to suggest they will be difficult for any team they come up against as they to try and avoid relegation. I can see it being another tough contested match for these two sides. Whitford might get the win, but Maddington will go close I think.

Wembley v Scarborough @Pat Goodridge Reserve MOTR
Well simply because I couldn't decide what match to choose as my Match Of The Round I have duly this match with the honourable title, we should call this match "The Battle of Botans". Don't know what that is? Well you're not a hip youngster clearly...
Wembley having lost their past 2 games will need to find something here or the risk falling 3 games behind the the top 4 sides, if results go that way. A win and they can put themselves into the contenders once again. Scarborough flexed their muscle last weekend and thrust themselves into top spot on the ladder. They are playing good team football, but will need to be on top of their game to beat a Wembley side desperate to win. Should be a good game of football and tough to tip a winner. Wembley to get a much needed win in a tight one and stun the boys from The Mill.

Wanneroo v Collegians @Wanneroo Showgrounds
Wanneroo have managed to string together a few wins and are looking to keep that going this weekend against another red hot side in Collegians. A win this weekend would see them entrench themselves into the top 5. Collegians are fresh off two big wins and are going along nicely. If they play with the intensity they have been MrM's Wanneroo could be in trouble. Last season the crowds enjoyed a good game and banter when these two sides played, so I expect much of the same. Wanneroo at home to be too good here.

Good luck to all this weekend, play the game in the right spirits and and enjoy yourselves.
