Werribee City’s hopes of avoiding relegation from the Victorian Premier League 1 competition have been dashed.
Results on the weekend mean the Bees will finish in the bottom two no matter the results of the last two rounds.
On Friday night, the Bees lost to Preston Lions.
The Lions led 2-0 at half time
The Bees fought back in the second half, but the Lions did enough to come away with the points.
The Bees face Bentleigh Greens this Saturday in the second last round.
Meanwhile in FV state league 2 north-west, Hoppers Crossing’s match with Uni Hill Eagles was called off due to the ground condition.
The match will be played at a later date.
The Reds sit three points behind Geelong Rangers and eight points behind Craigieburn City in the relegation battle.

In state league 3 north-west, Point Cook had a 1-0 loss to Williamstown on Saturday night.
The goal was scored in the second half.
The Jets remain in bottom spot. There’s 10 points between them and seventh placed Sunbury, so there’s still a lot on the line in the last five rounds.
