THE RUN HOME

Shepparton United, 28: Cobram (h), Tatura (a), Kyabram (h)

Best: 37, Likely: 35, Prediction: First

Can afford to draw, even lose, away to Tatura and still take the minor premiership if it wins the other two.

Shepparton, 27: Victory (a), Benalla (h), bye

Best: 33, Likely: 31, Prediction: Third

Two tough games to end the year, even if it wins both will need a favour from the teams playing South.

Shepparton South, 25: Numurkah (h), Cobram (a), Tatura (h)

Best: 34, Likely: 32, Prediction: Second

Win three from three and South will earn itself second place regardless of Sheparton's results.

Tatura, 21: Kyabram (a), United (h), South (a)

Best: 30, Likely: 25, Prediction: Fourth

May not be able to win its way out of fourth but can still influence who it will meet in the elimination final.

Benalla, 19: bye, Shepparton (a), Numurkah (h)

Best: 25, Likely: 23, Prediction: Fifth

Dropped too many games in its mid-season slump, needs to win both and get some luck.

Victory, 17: Shepparton (h), Numurkah (a), Cobram (a)

Best: 26, Likely: 20, Prediction: Seventh

Victory's elimination final is this weekend, all over if it doesn't win.

Cobram, 17: United (a), South (h), Victory (h)

Best: 26, Likely: 21, Prediction: Sixth

Form is good but has been playing elimination finals for the last two games and this weekend is no different.WOMENSHEPP UTD 13 9 1 3 27 12 15 28
