Benalla-Violet Town United currently holds down the last finals position, but is on the ropes at 1-7 against City Colts, who made 9-273 last weekend.

Wangaratta Magpies are the closest of the chasing teams, but must reach Rovers United-Bruck’s 9-208 to stay in the hunt.

The remaining two finals hopefuls Ovens Valley United and Delatite are locked in a very interesting battle.

Ovens Valley United is less than four points outside the top six and posted 155, with Delatite a further five points behind them sitting at 4-69 in reply.

Greta holds down eighth position, but can’t improve due to a final round bye.

The make-up of the top five isn’t expected to change, with City Colts set to wrap up the minor premiership ahead of Beechworth, Rovers United-Bruck, Yarrawonga-Mulwala and Benalla Bushrangers.
