It appears Macleay Valley will be minor premiers while Wingham still appears a safe bet to finish second. Wauchope sits in third place but needs to turn around some indifferent second round form to secure a top three berth. Forster-Tuncurry, Port City and Port Macquarie are chasing the last two places in the five. Old Bar and Taree City are out of contention, but the Pirates are keen to build on some impressive performances in the last three matches.
Taree City meets Wingham on Saturday in the annual fund raiser for Manning Valley Can Assist, where the first grade teams will play for the Krystylea Bridge Cup.
