WEEKEND PENNANT
In division one - after the tightest of contests against City Red at City which saw a draw last weekend - Warrnambool Gold is at home Saturday, taking on top-of-the-ladder Koroit Blue in what should be the game of the round.
Division two has turned out to be a nice, close contest between most teams.
Dunkeld away at Koroit should prove to be an entertaining contest, while Warrnambool White at home should have some confidence of knocking off a strong City Blue outfit.
