SOUTHERN CRICKET LEAGUE
THE Menzies Shield has developed into two groups after the completion of round 9 on Saturday. The first group, those trying to gain a finals berth, is headed by the unbeaten Cavaliers, who are now assured of top spot on the ladder with just two home and away games remaining. Below them are five teams that will contest the three remaining places in the semi-finals draw.
The three teams which were in the four before the current round suffered defeats, giving Glen Waverley and Notting Hill Brandon Park a chance of extending their season beyond round 11.
The second group, those striving to avoid relegation, include last season's premiers Mount Waverley Catholics, Toorak-Prahran, Glen Waverley Cougars and Monash.
