Echuca and Moama didn’t take to the pitch this week in the GMC women’s competition, but both sides’ finals hopes will be on the line in the final round this weekend.

While Moama had the bye, Echuca was scheduled for a 35-over match against Kyabram.

Unfortunately, the Redbacks weren’t able to field a side, with Echuca earning the points via forfeit.

Both local sides are in with a shot at the finals but either could see their season ended after this weekend.

Echuca (108 points) currently holds the advantage over Shepparton Youth Club United and Moama (both 102), as the three sides battle for two finals positions.

Moama has the unenviable task of needing to defeating the undefeated in the last round, taking on Mooroopna in a Saturday contest.

With an inferior quotient to SYCU, the Mowers likely require a win if they hope to reach the final four.

Echuca also faces stiff competition, battling number two side Nagambie at Victoria Park on Sunday. The Lakers won the previous meeting in round four.

SYCU has a comparative walk in the park on paper, facing off with one-win side Kyabram.

Whatever combination of sides reach the post-season will be battling the Cats or Lakers in the semi-finals, the pair guaranteed the top two placings.
