The Open Women’s side currently sits top of the ladder with 10 points with percentage only separating Nairne Bremer (second place) and Uraidla Districts (third place). To give you an idea of how close the teams are, if the Woods had scored 10 less points across the six matches played, they would sit in second position and 16 less points they would sit in third. This weekend the team plays Ironbank Cherry Gardens at Thunder Park in the last home match of the season with the weekend’s results to determine who the side will face in next weekend’s semi finals.
