A handful of games in and the Warrnambool and District league ladders are starting to take shape ahead of round six.
In the A-grade netball, seventh-placed Kolora-Noorat’s clash with fifth-placed Timboon Demons looms as the game of the round.
Only percentage separates the two clubs on the ladder and victory to either team could go a long way to helping secure a finals berth at the end of the season.
The Power look to be finding form after two losses to start the season.
The Lillie Bourke-coached outfit has won two of its past three games, with its one loss in that period only by five goals to second-placed Allansford.
Allansford will look to bounce back from its first loss – a heavy defeat at the hands of Nirranda – when it faces Old Collegians.
The Cats are a powerful unit but shouldn’t underestimate the Warriors, who are aiming to break a four-game losing streak.
In the senior football, the stage is set for a blockbuster night game between undefeated clubs Merrivale and Russells Creek.
The Tigers have been untouchable this year, while the Creekers have also been flying.
The Creekers’ defenders will have to be at their best as their opposition have scored 138-points or more in four of their five games this year.
Dennington versus Panmure also shapes as a close contest, with both sides having one win for the season so far.
In the other fixture, Nirranda takes on South Rovers.
