Panthers skipper Alastair Templeton, who has West on course for a Warrnambool and District Cricket Association finals berth, said his club was keeping focus.

"Things change week-to-week and you can be too harsh on yourself if you compare or think you're better than you actually are.

Templeton told The Standard the fixture was a game of fine margins. "It was only a partnership away from being close," he said.
