While the top five in the TRL A grade competition is a done deal any thoughts that the TRL Minor Premiership was done and dusted were shot out of the water at the completion of round 16. Sixth placed Gatton threw the cat among the pigeons when they scored a nail biting two point win over one of the competition favourites Valleys.
Last season’s premiers Dalby who are also in the mix again in 2018 scored a convincing win in their road trip to Goondiwindi and now sit just two points behind competition leaders Wattles who along with fifth placed Cowboys had a bye last round.
Highfields also had a big win over Brothers and have drawn ahead of Valleys.
The games this weekend will have an even bigger impact on the race for the Minor premiership.
Wattles look to go into their game against Dalby with a stronger form line and with the minor premiership on the line will surely take their A game on the road.
Highfields have a bye this weekend as they prepare for their final fixture game of the season against Wattles next week.
The Warwick Cowboys travel to Herb Steinhort Oval this weekend and are sure to face a fired up Valleys side after the hosts suffered an unexpected loss to Gatton last weekend.
With finals football only a couple of weeks away all five sides will come out firing in what is shaping as an exciting round of football.
