THE Woodbridge Cup final round has three games today and two of them will decide the line-up for the top five.
Canowindra (fourth) hosts Grenfell Goannas (fifth) with both sides on 20 points. The winner will take fourth spot while the loser will be anxiously waiting on the Peak Hill versus Eugowra result.
Today’s clash will be a really close encounter with both sides evenly matched right across the park.
Grenfell won 34-22 in the first round and will be going for the double and that fourth spot. They are coming off a hard 32-26 loss to Binalong. The Tigers are also coming off a shock loss to Eugowra 36-16, so they will be motivated to hit back and playing at home will have that big advantage as they are a more formidable side on home ground.
This one will come down to whichever side wants it the most with first grade kicking off at 3pm at Canowindra’s Tom Clyburn Oval.
Peak Hill (second) hosts Eugowra (sixth) today. This is a game which Eugowra must win, then wait to hear the result from Canowindra. If the Eagles can win by two or more, they will have a chance of getting fifth spot on for and against.
Firstly, though, they have a big task taking on the Roosters at home. The Roosters at home will be hard to roll, already holding bragging rights after winning their first round clash 34-22 over the Eagles.
The Roosters have lost three and won one in their last four games and that win came over Gooloogong last Sunday. Eugowra in the same time have had two wins and two losses.
Eugowra will give Peak Hill a fright but I think the Roosters will topple the Eagles.
Also today, minor premiers Binalong make the long trek to take on Condobolin (eighth.
Tomorrow, Burrangong plays Trundle. The Bears, coming off their first win, face a more formidable task in the third-placed Boomers, who should win.
In the final game tomorrow, Cargo Blue Heelers host Gooloogong Cowboys. Cargo at home should win in an entertaining game.
In youth league today, Canowindra plays Grenfell and Peak Hill takes on Eugowra. Binalong has the bye. In league tag today, Canowindra goes up against Grenfell, and Condobolin plays Binalong, in a game in which will decide the minor premiers.
