Kardinia will be full of confidence and are going into Saturday’s clash on the back of a 4-0 win over Surf Coast in the catch-up round last weekend, which was their first win of the season.
Barwon SC won their last match which was played in Round 7, when they came away from Torquay with a 3-1 win over Surf Coast.
The final game of the round will take place at Myers Reserve between Deakin Ducks and top of the table Geelong Rangers.
