Park Beach moved closer to claiming the first grade flag after a solid victory over the club that was their nearest rivals being Nambucca Heads last Saturday. The 5 - 1 victory extends their lead at the top of the table, with the Park Beach seconds now their nearest rivals after they defeated Urunga 6 - 0 to boost their chances of the second grade flag, and all but ending Urunga's season. Sawtell kept their slim hopes alive by defeating West Coffs 6 - 0. West Coffs are still in the hunt but will have their season on the line in round seven when they travel to Park Beach to play Park Beach Two's. Park Beach Firsts will travel to Urunga and will look to extend their lead, whilst in the match of the round, Sawtell and Nambucca will clash.
In Grade Three Coffs Ex Services moved back into the lead with their 5 - 1 defeat of Woolgoolga whilst Park beach kept it a three horse race by whitewashing Sawtell.
Grade Four remains wide open although Urunga has firmed as the side most likely after another victory whilst Park Beach copped a drubbing at the hands of Nambucca to slide back into second place. Bellingen's great start to the season continued to go sour, beaten by Coffs ex Services who's season seems to be going in the opposite direction. With just four rounds remaining only Sawtell seems to be out of contention.
Coffs Ex Services are now twelve points clear in Grade five after a dominant victory over Macksville. It seems only Bowraville, or possibly Woolgoolga remain a chance to catch them, after both also recorded solid wins.
Grade Six continues to be an arm wrestle for all involved, with narrow victories the order of the day and no side able to pull clear at the top of the ladder. North Beach and Nambucca are tied at the top of the table despite both losing. Park Beach, Urunga and Sawtell all scored wins to move a little closer.
Only Nambucca Heads and Sawtell appear able to catch Bowraville in section one of Grade Seven, as Bowraville scored another impressive win, this time over Macksville. Sawtell kept themselves in contention by ending Park Beach's season.
Finally in section two, Urunga and Park Beach seemed destined to fight out the section after both scored impressive victories. Despite their loss, Coffs will still consider themselves a chance. For Woolgoolga and Sawtell, the remainder of the season will be all about avoiding the wooden spoon.
No Pennants this weekend due to Easter, although a number of clubs have Easter events scheduled.
Cheers,
Chippy
