Nichols Point hold aces

NICHOLS Point young Guns will go into this weekend’s Premier League semi-final against Alcheringa Attacks as hot favourites to advance to the grand final.

The Pointers have been the top side all season and, with talented junior Xavier Kendall coming back into the line-up after missing the past three weeks with a back injury, look to have too much class.

In the other semi-final, Red Cliffs should have Alcheringa Aces’ measure.

In Division 1, defending premiers Nichols Point Legends face a tough task against top side Sarnia Sloggers, who finished ­minor premiers.

St Andrews Stingers should be the other side to advance to the grand final.

Stingers meet Red Cliffs Rebels, but with Troy Kelly and Lachlan Flynn leading the way, they look to have too much firepower.
