Could a key forward kick his 100th goal of the season in a top-of-the-table clash?

Could a key forward kick his 100th goal of the season in a top-of-the-table clash?

Allansford’s Robbie Hare needs seven majors to reach the magical figure.

Standing in his way in round 16 of the Warrnambool and District league is premiership contender Merrivale.

The Tigers’ defence will be eager to negate Hare’s goal-kicking opportunities.

It looms as an intriguing clash. Both sides boast 14-1 win-loss records, with the Tigers occupying top spot and the Cats close behind in second.

Merrivale is coming off a confidence-boosting come-from-behind win against third-placed Russells Creek too.

The A-grade netball game between Merrivale and Allansford is also a top-three encounter and could be a preview to finals action.
