Catani (236) vs Western Park
Whilst the make-up of the division three top four was finalised last weekend, the order in which the sides will finish is still very much up for grabs.

And it was Catani who ended day one as favourites to take out victory over Western Park, posting 236.
Archie Dunn (4/34) and Connor Fleming applied the clamps with the new ball, with the duo's youthful exuberance on full display, and it meant that Matthew Finger (5 from 71) and Sam Coleman (8 off 59) were forced to toil for their runs.
Dave Burn (who's first eight overs went for just a solitary run) and Ed Dieu (who again spun the ball extravagantly on his way to 2/28) backed up the efforts of the opening bowlers.
But even though they at one stage reduced Catani to 5/99, unfortunately for the Warriors they hadn't yet seen the back of Bradley McDonald and Leigh Jose.
The Cats duo have caused endless pain to Western Park in division three over the years and together they continued the trend, boosting the total in the post-tea session with McDonald striking a delightful 57 and Jose a hard-hitting 37, taking full toll on the bowlers are they began to tire.
Jarrod Williams then notched a superb 73 to ensure the Warriors are left with a challenging chase next weekend.
Iona (8/63) vs Hallora (2/65)
Hallora have warmed up for finals in emphatic fashion, having already claimed victory against Iona.
The depth of the Kangaroos' attack has seen them go undefeated to this point of the summer, and this dominance with the ball was on full display.
Jonno Whelan (1/10 from 5), Dilpreet Singh (1/9 off 5), John Riley (2/8), and Ed Lemmon (2/6) shared the spoils in a quality team display, which resulted in Iona being bundled out for just 63.
Michael Neilson (15) and Scott Hoare (16) were the only batters to really show any resistance, but despite their efforts the Swamp Tigers would no doubt have known their total wasn't close to being enough.
Michael Taylor (1/32) removed Benjamin Sharpe without scoring to provide a glimmer of hope, but that was quickly extinguished by an excellent knock of 42 to Daniel Reiner, with the opener's boundary-laden knock helping Hallora reach 2/65 in just the 12th over.
Ellinbank vs Trafalgar (9/289)
A sterling lower order batting effort from Trafalgar has helped them post a formidable total against Ellinbank on the first day of their round 14 clash, with the dedication of the entire Ships line-up subjecting the Eagles to a long day under the hot sun.
Bailey Helps (2/37 from 11) and Harmanpreet Singh (2/57) had provided Ellinbank with the perfect start early in the day, with their stump-to-stump approach seeing Rhain Ross bowled for four and Zak Larkin and Mitchell Claridge both trapped in front – the scoreboard 3/13.
Callum Walton (22) and William Claridge (a rambunctious 33) steadied the innings, but even still when both those batters departed the Ships were 5/71.
Any thoughts Ellinbank had of an early finish to their bowling endeavours were soon put to rest however, as Cooper Burgess (46), Connor Dastey (a superb 53), Daniel Heathcote (40*), David Bremner (18 from 16), and Oliver White (25*) counterattacked.
In all, Trafalgar made 9/289 with the wagging tail's contributions providing an ideal warm-up as they prepare for finals in the coming weeks.
Warragul (62) def. by Longwarry (3/75)
Longwarry have notched a morale-boosting win over Warragul in their final round clash, with the Crows waltzing to a seven-wicket win.
On the back of two stunning individual performances with the ball – with Cole Cook (5/31) and Ali Sarosh (5/26) both demonstrating their ability to move the new Kookaburra at pace – the Gulls could only make their way to 62 before being dismissed in just the 24th over, with none of their batters able to exert any influence.
Amandeep Singh laced three early boundaries on his way to 14, but apart from that brief cameo there was precious little to excite Warragul supporters as Cook and Sarosh went about their merry ways.
Stacy Best removed Tyson Venn early in Longwarry's chase – sending his stumps cartwheeling – but William Hameeteman (39 from 51) and Heath Darcy (28* from just 27 balls) were able to quickly combine for a 44-run second-wicket stand that saw the Crows quickly claim victory.
With little to play for, it seems – according to scores – that both teams agreed to end the match with Longwarry 3/75 in the 20th over.
