The Maroons suffered a last minute heartbreaker on Saturday, conceding a penalty at the death to fall 1-0 against Balgownie.
A missed penalty by the Maroons in the first half, a blatant handball call denied in the box and some goalkeeping heroics when Dave McC had gone through one on one in the second term gave the Crows every chance of maximum points. They duly delivered the knockout right at the finish when Shane was adjudged to have brought down a Crow in the box.
The loss left the Maroons in fifth place but as one of three teams on 29 points. They have a game in hand over the Makos (30 points) and Crows, who leapt into second with the win.
It sets up a massive weekend for the Maroons with a double header against Fernhill and Figtree.
Fernhill scored a late late winner to down the Whites 3-2 on Saturday and if the Maroons expect to play in the finals this year they really need to beat the Foxes at home.
On Sunday, it's a visit from Figtree.
Two wins this weekend will thrust the Maroons into second or third place and leave them with a a good chance of making the finals. Dropped points here will give them absolutely no room for error in the rest of the season.
Good luck guys. I'll be logging on from NZ for the results so please stick them in the shoutbox as soon after the game as possible.
Meanwhile, the Whites have their catchup game against Russell Vale on Wednesday. Can't describe how big a win there would be for all of us!
With so many Maroons away, two games on the weekend and the Whites not able to train you may wish to consider having Wednesday off for a rest.
Will leave it to you'll to debate in the Shoutbox.
