Amy Jackson Sun 19 Aug 1:00PM Sun 19 Aug 1:00PM scored the all important goal in the second half, to increase Ashburton’s lead over Eltham to six Heidelberg Utd v Sandringham v points. The weekend’s results contain mixed Eltham North Ashburton blessings for Eltham: it is now mathematically Darebin International SC RJ Sillitoe Reserve assured of a place in the top five, but it looks Sun 19 Aug 1:00PM Sun 19 Aug 3:00PM like it will have to settle for that place being fourth, as it is unrealistic to think it can overtake WPL RESERVE DETAILS Ashburton, given its remaining games.

It was Bendigo’s Eastern Lions 18 9 2 7 43 39 29 fourth win of the season, but could yet prove its finals’ hopeful to being a distant eighth directly of the year, and it gives its chances of avoiding Box Hill Inter 18 7 6 5 40 36 27 most crucial.
