Red Rd 3:
Waverley v Oakhill @ Damian Oval:
Another cross-the-board match up with two huge programs going at it this week. It's going to be a carnival atmosphere at Castle Hill as this will be the last round of games up there before semis. In the 1st XV this will be an entertaining game. Both teams capable of turning something out of nothing for sure. But having now seen Waverley in action, I'm going to have to back Oakhill in but with a caveat... If cooler heads can prevail and Waves make use of their big forward pack, Oakhill could be in for trouble. BUT, if Oakhill maintain their discipline and Waves try to run it from Parramatta, then Oakhill will come out on top. The Blood n Pus by 7+
Program Outcome: Flip a coin with this group! Any match could go either way. I would lean and say Oaks might be slightly stronger in the 1s, 2s and 16s, but suspect Waves will take the 15s down. 3-3 all draw
Auggies v Barker @ Pittwater:
The biggest 1st XV match up of Red and of the CASISA concept as a whole. 1st plays 1st - it's going to be huge. Will Barker be able to lift for their final game of the year? Will Auggies get off to a slow start again? Absolute bragging right for both teams so I think this game will be hard fought by both teams. Very hard to predict a winner but I'm going to lean to Barker by 3+
Program Outcome: I think we can get a bit more clarity here. Auggies start the day with a 1-0 lead with the Barker 13s declining the game. I think there's easily another 3 or 4 wins from Auggies so I'll say 4-2 to the Beach Bums.
Pats v Knox @ Breen:
This will be an intriguing match up this weekend. Pats on the up whilst Knox stretching Auggies all the way. Pats have continuously impressed... far beyond what their team sheet would indicate is possible. Is an upset on the cards? Pats at home for their last home game will be a challenge but I suspect taking Knox will be a bridge too far. Knox by 10+
Program Outcome: This will be epic. Pats are taking a 2-0 lead into the weekend so they need one more win to call it a draw. All eyes will be on the 16s who have had a string season to date. Can Pats pull one win from the remaining 4 games? I think they can. 3 all draw.

Black Rd 3:
Stannies v Trinity @ Hogwarts
A big weekend over the mountains this week for Trinity. Given their form coming into this term, it would be hard to tip against Trinity. Stannies at home is always a challenge regardless of the scenario but I cant see them cracking Trinity for a 1st XV win. Trinity vy 15
Program Outcome: This could be up and down all day. I predict wins for Trinity in 1s, 15s and 13s but the action will be with 2s, 16s and 14s. Trinity 4-2
Pius v Cranbrook @ Oxford Falls
The action will be around the 1s and 2s this weekend. Pius having their year to remember with strong results across the board with memories of close losses against Oakhill and Auggies. Cranbrook seemed to have started their season well but fell down the pecking order as the term rolled on. Predicting a Solid win for Pius by 10+
Program Outcome: A different story here. I think Pus will nab the 1s and 2s but it could be a white out from that point onwards. Cranbrook 4-2
Aloys v Kinross @ Willoughby
This wil be a close match up but I'm wondering about the positive effect that an upset win from Kinross last week will have on them this week. Both teams will want to finish off their regular season with a win and I think if Kinross can maintain the momentum, we could see a narrow win for the Royal Blues. Kinross by 5+
Program Outcome: Aloys will provide some starch in their junior age groups but may struggle higher up - the reverse being true for Kinross. 3-3 draw.
Good luck to all players this weekend
