But Wangaratta Magpies can salvage something by dodging the wooden spoon with a win against Delatite in Saturday’s final round at Norm Minns Oval.

Magpies posted a season-high 7-208 last weekend thanks to a maiden A-grade half century by 17-year-old Cooper Matheson and will start favourites to post their first victory of the season.

Skipper Zac Guilfoyle and his new-ball partner Jarryd Wallace should apply enough pressure early to set up a win for the home side.

Fellow winless side Ovens Valley has already lost on first innings to Beechworth and are facing outright defeat.

Yarrawonga-Mulwala is firmly in control of their clash against Benalla.

James Irvine already has three scalps and could finish with a bag as the Lakers look to storm into the semi-finals.

Greta will fancy its chances of defending 7-238 against City Colts.

Second-placed Rovers United-Bruck have the bye.
