Shepparton News
It would take a minor miracle for the composition of the North Eastern Soccer League women's top four to change in the final home and away round of the season.
With Shepparton United 17 points clear in front, the only interest surrounds the fortunes of Cobram and Shepparton and who secures second place and the double chance.
The two teams are locked together on 40 points and drew 1-1 last weekend, but the Tigers hold the advantage with a 12-goal better goal difference than the Reds.
The only hope Shepparton has of overtaking Cobram is if the Tigers don't win on Sunday, a highly unlikely prospect considering they take on cellar-dweller Kyabram.
The Go-annas have only scored three goals this season and have conceded 75, with their only point coming from a 0-all draw against Numurkah last month.
In their previous two meetings this season, Cobram has recorded 3-0 and 7-0 wins, meaning Shepparton is going to have to prepare itself for a likely knockout final against Tatura.
The Reds take on Numurkah and will be looking to build some momentum coming into the finals, having beating the Knights comfortably in their previous two games this year.
In other matches, ladder-leader Shepparton United meets fourth-placed Tatura, and Cobram Victory and Shepparton South will be hoping to end their seasons on a winning note when they clash.
