Robins in key clash against Wallabies

-

CAMPANIA will host Campbell Town this weekend in what is looming as the game of the round as the ODFA heads into the second half of the season.

The Robins are coming off an impressive win over Mount Pleasant last week and will be looking to exact revenge on the Wallabies after losing in a close game back in Round 5.

Alex Langridge has been in strong form for the Robins this season and a victory would lift his side to equal sec- ond on the ladder with Campania. Campania is coming off a big win over Swansea last week and will be confident going into this game with gun forward Clinton Curtain in strong form after his 11-goal haul.

Mitch Baker and Captain Matt Triffett continue to lead by example in the Wallabies midfield and should play a huge factor in the match.

Table-topping Bothwell got off to a rusty start last week but regrouped to win convincing­ly against Triabunna.

Simon Bryant continued his impressive season in the middle of the ground while Kris Cashion kicked seven goals.

The Rabbits will host Swansea, which is yet to win a game this season.

Oatlands kept its finals hopes alive last week after defeating the Tasman Peninsula and will be full of confidence when it hosts Triabunna in a massive game for both teams.

The winner will be a game clear in the top five.
