Football
This game between two of the fiercest rivals has huge ramifications in their bids to play finals.
It won’t be crisis time for the loser, but it is certainly going to make it that little bit harder.
The Tigers have played some not bad football in the past two losses to finals bound teams, while Echuca was bitterly disappointing against Shepparton.
The Murray Bombers were ruthless in disposing of Mooroopna and the Shepparton Swans in consecutive weeks, but coach Andrew Briggs knows they need to claim a big scalp.
Most pundits believe the Murray Bombers have a list capable of playing finals and the pressure will be mounting on them if they don’t get the points in this contest.
I think Echuca has the avenues to goal to kick a big enough score to be in front around 4.30 this afternoon.
Tip: Echuca.
Netball
Both have mirrored the performances of their senior football teams as far as the win and losses this year.
Echuca’s youngsters were outstanding in almost defeating premiership aspirant Shepparton last weekend while Rochester was competitive against Benalla.
For the loser of this contest, making finals will become that little bit harder.
Over the last few years, Echuca has held court in the netball contests and the visitors will be keen to continue its edge over its Campaspe Shire rival.
Tip: Echuca.
