Crucial round as three locked in battle for fourth spot
UPPER Loddon senior cricketers will play one-day matches on Saturday after extreme heat affected the last two weekends.
The opening day of two-day clashes was cancelled last Saturday, while the Loddon Herald Cup T20 final the weekend before was also called off due to the weather.
Wedderburn Band, Arnold Redbacks and Bridgewater Bulls are fighting over the last two places in the top four with three rounds remaining before the finals series.
Arnold hosts Wedderburn on Saturday, with Bridgewater taking on Kingower, which is assured of making the finals.
Top team Boort Yando has the bye.
The Magpies will have had three weekends off by the time they host Kingower in round 15, another scheduled two-day fixture beginning on February 14.
The fourth-placed Redbacks have the bye in round 15, which makes their round 16 match with the Bulls, currently fifth, a potential play-off for the last finals berth.
