Division One Youth League Round 17 Review

It still looks as though the top seven teams will fight it out for places in the finals in Grade 13 while ten teams are in with a chance of the play-offs in Grade 14.
In Grades 15 and 16 the top seven all have a good chance of continuing beyond the competition proper but the top five looks to be set in place in the 18s.
Of course there could well be changes within the current pecking order for the finals series so there is plenty of interest and action to come.
