Gippsland Times |A HIGHLY-anticipated top four clash between Stratford and Paynesville headlines round five of East Gippsland football.
The reigning premier is looking to increase the divide between itself and the rest of the league. The Swans have again taken all before them so far this year, with their closest encounter being a 15-point win over Wy Yung in the grand final rematch.
The Swans will come into their clash against Paynesville well rested, after being barely pushed in their 108-point thrashing of Lakes Entrance prior to a week off.
In other EGFNL matches on Saturday:
Wy Yung will face Boisdale-Briagolong in what should be another exciting clash.
Seventh-placed Lindenow will host fifth-placed Lakes Entrance in what should be a close contest.
The task doesn't look like it will get any easier for Orbost-Snowy Rovers when it takes on a Lucknow side desperate for four points.
