In a pivotal round 7 the teams ranked 10th and 11th on the ladder entering the round upset the top 2 sides, with Bathurst @Len bringing Katanning’s ORFFW record 6 game win streak to an abrupt end and Scone @Tracey surging to a 3-0 H2H lead over the Mystix, all of which have been by 10 points or less. Despite this the 2022 finals spots have been wrapped up a week early with LSC @dmandrews and Vivonne Bay @That KI Guy managing their 5th wins in dispatching Eastern Park and Legana respectively, with LSC now ranked 2nd and chasing their 3rd successive minor premiership. Legana have all but sewn up the wooden spoon ahead of a trip to Scone for a battle of 11th and 12th in Round 8. Pomona @anthak almost doubled a shorthanded Timboon’s score to eliminate the Blazers from finals contention while the Bats also were eliminated after falling to the Galahs @ver_redit_optatum in a tight battle. The competition MVP is now a race in 3 with Bangalow’s @Esther Ash Riddell on 32 votes, 1 ahead of Pomona’s Ebony Marinoff on 31 votes with Scone’s Anne Hatchard a further vote back on 30 votes, with all 3 teams at home next week the fans will be sure to cheer on their favourites to rack up another mammoth score to complete the 2022 season. Round 8 commences on Saturday afternoon, with the final round a chance for several teams to either tank for draft picks or finish the season on a high, while the finals bound teams fight for preliminary final hosting rights and the 2022 ORFFW minor premiership.
