INGLEWOOD has a thing or two to prove when they host Pyramid Hill in Loddon Valley football’s match of the round.
The Blues have impressed against side above them on the ladder but fallen heartbreakingly-short each time.
This weekend they have the chance to lock in a spot in the top five.
Pyramid Hill has not been travelling as well as many, me included, had predicted at the start of the season.
The Bulldogs can be menacing but not as much as a parochial home crowd cheering the Blues.
The big improvers Bridgewater head to Rodeo Park and will hand out a drubbing to Calivil.
If they get out of second gear, the Mean Machine will achieve a mega percentage boost. Something they will want if there’s a chance to have the first weekend of the finals off.
For Calivil, unless they start kicking goals at training tonight, hard to see them getting anywhere close.
Down at Newbridge, the boys will not even need the song sheets to belt out the club theme this week. 
Another win beckons, this time against Mitiamo who continue to show glimpses.
Newbridge has had more than a fair share of injuries but you can’t question intensity and desire. Make it two on the trot for the Maroons.
The final match has Bears Lagoon Serpentine at Janiember Park against Maiden Gully.
The Bears finally impressed me with their style of play last weekend and should continue where they left off.
Still, there’s always the uncertainty of whether Mellington will line up and that makes the difference between a close one or a blowout.
