I feel sorry for Marcellin meeting Collegians today, for I really believe that the Eagles are ( LirrentlY capable of beating the remaining 8 sdes at this stage of the year and especially as the win could well save them from relegation . They've won their last 3 games in good style playing honest team ;ootball and are bound to give a pretty good account of themselves today . However no matter how e11 they play. Collegians will play better. As North coach Mark Hannabery said last week when I spoke to him of the sides in the four in general and Collegians in particular, "They must be a good side they've won 13 straight" . He's right - theirball skills with hand and footare superiorto all otherteams and their running game and discipline unmatched . Sentimentcan't count here, Collegians will win because they are the best team and they've proved it not once but 13 times ! North O .B. face a danger game at home against Caulfield Grammarians whose performance in the latter half of the season has been as surprising as it has been praiseworthy . The club has shown a strength of character and willingness to survive that many thought it lacked and they are quite capable of completing the season with an even ledger . North was none too impressive last week, although I give Ivanhoe credit here as it played with much tenacity and determination . They will need to shwo more cohesiveness to beat their visitors who will certainly miss the services of Alan Nalder and David Matthews. North will be hoping for the return of Tony Egan, Luke Morse and Dominic Butera and at What a round of matches! The value of the Promotion and Relegation system in providing an even home should just scrape in and hold onto second spot for at least another week . and interesting season is again evident . Uni Blues must be glad they've such a useful percentage because it may be all that saves them from In A Section Caulfield's shock win over De La Salle tipped De La out of second spot and has given relegation . After watching Ivanhoe last week I believe they're ready for a win and today at the Uni the 'Fields breathing space in the relegation battle .

They meet top side Old Paradians at In B Section Old Melburnians caused the biggest upset possibly for the season with a huge win over home and after last week's dismal effort can hardly be expected to upset O .P.'s. They will live to regret Fawkner . O.M's coach A ndy Ristrom was on the phone at 5 past 9 with °You wouldn't have a clue" etc . that stumble at "Fawkner" Park . and "please don't pick us this week" .
