The Cats, three points ahead of fifth-placed Strathmore, can seal their finals berth with a last-round win.

It won’t come easy as they will face reigning premier and ladder-leader Yarraville Club in a two-day match away at Hansen Reserve.

In west A1, Point Cook had a thrilling five-run win over Werribee Centrals in the local derby on Saturday, but it was Centrals who finished the weekend just outside the relegation zone on percentage after their 16-run upset of Wyndhamvale on Sunday.

All three clubs have plenty to play for in the final round with Point Cook and Werribee Centrals fighting to avoid the drop and Wyndhamvale looking to preserve its place in the top four.
