ANGLESEA will host Queenscliff at Ellimatta Reserve in the final round of the BFL seniors home and away season, with the result to shape the top five.<\/p>\n

The fifth-placed Roos can sew up the last spot in the finals with a win, but a loss could possibly see them drop out of the race by percentage.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the fourth-placed Coutas will hope to win and rely on other results to jump to third and secure the double chance.<\/p>\n

The other matchup that has top five ramifications is the Barwon Heads and Drysdale<\/a> clash at Howard Harmer Oval.<\/p>\n

The sixth-placed Seagulls could sneak into the finals with a percentage-boosting win, but would need to rely on Queenscliff to beat Anglesea. However, the Hawks can lock themselves into third place should they win, as they sit 10 percent above the Coutas.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Torquay will host Ocean Grove at McCartney Oval, looking to finish the season second. The Grubbers will take some confidence into the match after an honourable loss against ladder leaders Geelong Amateur.<\/p>\n

It will be seventh verses eighth as Modewarre host Portarlington. After reaching the semi-final last year, the Warriors will fail to feature in the postseason in 2025, but can finish their campaign strong with a win.<\/p>\n

Geelong Amateurs are set to finish the season on top of the ladder. They take on ninth-placed Newcomb at Queens Park Reserve after a scare against Ocean Grove last weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
