In first division, the final four is finalised, although mathematically Mortlake Blue could make it.

The real interest is in the top two spots, with very little separating Warrnambool Gold, City Memorial Red and Koroit Blue. A loss to anyone of these teams will see them miss the double chance.

In division two Dennington White, Warrnambool Red and Port Fairy Blue are all trying to grab third and fourth spot. 

There are six teams vying for the finals in division three and in division four there are seven teams with a realistic chance of making it.

The West Coast Region singles and fours were played at Camperdown Bowls Club last Sunday.
