A superb first 10 rounds has seen Rochester cement itself inside the top-two on the ladder, and a win this weekend will go a long way in securing that spot ahead of finals.

Rochy will take on third-placed Rich River away from home this weekend, with the chance to open up a mammoth 10-point gap over its nearest challenger for second if it secures the win.

Rochy has been in fine form so far this season, having lost just two matches both of which were against Echuca 1, although on one occasion claimed seven sets to six but lost on overall games.

A Rochester win would also benefit Lockington-Bamawm United, who is 10 points back from Rich River in fourth spot.

LBU is set to host fifth-placed Echuca 2 at home on Saturday, with the two sides fairly evenly matched at the mid-season break.

The final match of the round will see the unbeaten Echuca 1 take on clubmates Echuca 3, who conversely sit winless at the bottom of the table.
