Bev Watkins has played well to this point to have lost 5 strokes, while Viviene Casteneda, Debra Froud and Claire Young have all lost 4.

Round 11 Draw:

This weeks match of the round in Division 1 should probably be two matches, with 1st place 6 + Max taking on 4th placed Fairway Miners, and 2nd playing 3rd with Around the World and Seven Wonders squaring off. Both should be very exciting matches as neither team will want to give up any advantage during the second half of the season. In Division 2, watch the match between 3rd and 4th, VAGS vs HAS Hackers. VAGS are coming off a loss last week and will be looking for improvement against the side looking to leap frog them on the ladder. In Division 3 the match of the round will be between 1st and 2nd, with The Gapfillers looking to give Ross Engineering their second loss in a row for the first time this season.
