ROUND 14 PREVIEW

The final round of the Dycer Constructions Premiership takes place this Sunday with pride and preparing for the finals series high on the agenda.
The top four are set and results this weekend will have no affect. The Round Ball Game of the Week will see Blue Lake take on Apollo Soccer Club at Malseed Park. Blue Lake have been inconsistent this year and with the appointment of club legend Lewis ferguson at the helm of the under 17's for 2012, senior coach Olu Deyolu will be keen to end the season on a positive to provide confidence in the club over the summer break. Deyolu, in his first season in charge, has weathered the storm after a poor start to the season and after the recent loss to Naracoorte a good performance is vital.
In contrast Derek Ferguson's Apollo side have cruised into the finals series. In recent weeks Ferguson has tinkered with his squad and I would expect he will do the same on Sunday. Apollo should record the win and will book a qualifying final date with league leaders International in a fortnight.
Inter travel to Naracoorte this week to take Naracoorte United after Naracoorte United forfeited to International last week. This week Naracoorte will end their season with a loss as Inter prepare for next Sunday's blockbuster.
In other games Portland host Gambier Centrals and Millicent host The Sharks. Both hosts will go in as underdogs and will have a tough time as Centrals and The Sharks prepare for their cut throat elimination final next weekend.
This season has been a difficult one for Millicent United and the summer break couldn't have come around quick enough. Winless since round 5 Millicent have conceded a whopping 92 goals the season averaging 7 goals against them each week. Upfront they have only scored 6 goals since late may.
Portland have shown steady improvement this year and have set clear goals for the 2012 season. They are desperate to finish near the top 4 and a positive performance at home in the last game of the season would be a great way to end the season. The future is positive for Portland.
