Coomealla set sights on final

DEFENDING champions Coomealla can secure a place in the Murray Darling Golf Association pennant ladies’ final with victory on Sunday.

The first of those was a 3-2 result against Sunday’s opponents Riverside, with four of the five round 1 contests going to the 17th or 18th holes.

With just the one squared result against Mildura, Riverside would need to win their final two match-ups to have any chance of qualifying for the final.

Mildura and Red Cliffs go head-to-head in the other contest, a result that went 4-1 in the former’s favour in round 1, but the latter are coming off a 4.5-0.5 against Riverside.

In Division 1 men, Red Cliffs and Mildura will battle to move a step closer to qualifying for the November 5 final in Robinvale.

After the duo halved their opening round contest, both sides have a win, a loss and a half to their names after three rounds/

The winner this weekend at Mildura Golf Resort will take a vital lead heading into the fifth and final round.

Coomealla are in the box seat, winning all three games so far, and victory over Riverside will make it a certainty.

Men’s Division 2 is tightly contested and Sunday’s games could determine the outlook for the the top two.

Ladder leaders Robinvale will look to keep their unblemished record intact against Riverside in a top-two battle, Merbein play Red Cliffs, Coomealla take on Mildura.
