With three rounds remaining, 15 of the 16 teams are still in the finals hunt and results this week may go a long way to shaping the top four in each conference.
In the Steam Plains conference, the top four teams all play teams in the bottom four.
Results this week could see a big shake up of ladder positions.
In the Local Knowledge versus Old Boys contest, the score prediction slightly favours the Old Boys.
However, Local Knowledge will be full of confidence after their first win of the season in round four.
Look for Local Knowledge to cause the upset, in what is likely to be the match of the round.
Both teams are coming off a loss in The Merinos versus Hit & Hope match.
Family rivalry is at play in this match with Anne and Donald Bull (Merinos) up against son Will (Hit & Hope).
The formline suggests another close contest, but with a few showers forecast Saturday, the weather might play its part in who takes this match.
Bush Whackers will put their undefeated record on the line against Mighty Mulligans this week.
Mighty Mulligans will need to put in their best performance of the year if they are to challenge Bush Whackers, who have received good scoring from different players each round making them difficult to beat.
A win to The Pennant Team against The Wedgies will likely secure a finals berth.
The Wedgies are yet to present any consistent form and will need significant improvement if they are to challenge The Pennant Team, who are one of the form teams of the competition.
The Noorumboon conference this week features a top of the table clash, with Twos taking on The Jackson 8.
The Jackson 8 will welcome the return of the competition’s top scorer Jordan Treble, after a hand injury forced him to withdraw from round four.
Carol Hardman has also been excellent for The Jackson 8, but the scores have then dropped away.
This is a trend that The Jackson 8 will need to address this week if they are to challenge the consistent and balanced team scoring that Twos have demonstrated.
The form line is predicting a close contest, with the winner of this match likely to be favourites to win their conference.
Another close contest is expected between Golf Mates and Eagles & Birdies.
Golf Mates will no doubt be looking to build on their first win of the season, but the Eagles & Birdies have hit form over the past two weeks.
Both teams have demonstrated consistent scoring over the course of the competition, making it very hard to pick a winner.
A win to TaylorMaids would put a massive dent in the finals hopes of Da Cluster.
Da Cluster have shown they can be a high scoring side, but they have lacked consistency.
TaylorMaids are yet to record a win this season, but golf is a fickle game, so Da Cluster will need to show some form, or TaylorMaids might just break the ice this week.
Ones have shown some very poor form of late, and by all reports the team is far from a cohesive unit.
COVID-8 have shown variable form across the season to date, but a last start win might just provide the confidence needed to upset the Ones.
