IT MAY be the last round of the GVFL season but finals have arrived a week earlier for Euroa. The Magpies host the Shepparton Bears in what is a must win game as Mansfield who sit half a game behind Euroa on the ladder travel to Deakin Reserve to play an under-manned Shepparton United, and will most likely win that game.

The Pies will fancy their chances at home after the Bears were belted by Kyabram last week and will be down on confidence. The three Gleeson’s in Jacob, Jay and Max are in good form with goal kickers, Craig Bamford and Jett Trotter kicking three each last week looking to repeat the dose at home and get that sixth spot.

The Bears on the other hand have a chance to regain some confidence before another rematch with Kyabram in the qualifying final the week after. Nick Allan, Rowan Hiscock, Mitch Brett and Liam Duguid worked hard against the tsunami of Kyabram and will be keen to get a win going into next week. The Bears will be too strong.

The final home and away games this week will see Benalla pump the Swans at the Benalla Showgrounds, Seymour will be defeated by Tatura at Kings Park, Mansfield will travel to Deakin and win comfortably against United to sneak into the top six, Echuca to get the points at home against Mooroopna and Kyabram to finish the home and away season undefeated again.
