For Nangiloc and Meringur their clash at Nangiloc Reserve is crucial in the context of both club’s seasons.

Both sides are coming off losses from last weekend, and both missed opportunities to gain the jump on one another in the race to the finals.

Meringur will be hurting after losing to the previously winless Cardross, and will be determined to make amends today.

Meanwhwile, Nangiloc will be out to prove they are the real deal, and a win here could set them on the right path to their first finals series since coming out of recess.

With both sides so evenly matched, the side that gets the best start will be in the box seat to claim the victory today. But the Demons, with their pace and speed, will start favourites.

At Cardross Reserve, a resurgent Lions outfit take on the high-flying Gol Gol in a match that should be an interesting encounter.
