In Division One, the rampaging Echuca 1 will host Rochester 1 at the Echuca Lawn Tennis Club.
Echuca is undefeated this year at 12-0 but faces the most demanding test available, second-placed Rochester.
Rochy has picked up wins in three of its past five fixtures but will need a special performance to take down the association’s top side.

At the other end of the table, Lockington-Bamawm United 1 will also travel to Echuca as it faces Echuca 3.
In stark contrast to Echuca 1, Echuca 3 is still searching for its first win, with a match against fifth-placed LBU 1 perhaps its best chance.
Last time out, it came agonisingly close against Echuca 2, falling 7-6.
Deft touch: Echuca 3’s Silas Kingma utilises the slice in round 12 against Echuca 2.

In the middle of the standings, third and fourth match up as Rich River 1 hosts Echuca 2.
At 5-7, Echuca 2 is two games clear in the finals places, but with four rounds left will be hopeful of a victory to prevent LBU 1 from closing the gap.
Meanwhile, Rich River 1 is all but assured of a spot in the top four but can seal its place with a win.
