Weekly Advertiser | After 88 games of football across more than four months, only six games remain before a Horsham District Football Netball League premier is crowned for 2024.

Harrow-Balmoral enters the finals as a deserving premiership favourite, having followed up last season’s undefeated premiership campaign with another flawless home-and-away season.

The Roos put the finishing touches on their minor premiership with an 18.26 (134) to 3.2 (20) dismantling of Rupanyup at the weekend – a team some saw as Harrow-Balmoral’s biggest challenge in the first half of the season.

Yet despite their undefeated record, the Roos have looked more vulnerable this year than they did last season.

Only twice in 2023 did a side finish within 35 points of Harrow-Balmoral, while teams have come within that margin six times already this season.

The Roos will have a week off before playing a qualifying final against Swifts, which finished its own season strongly with a 30.15 (195) to 9.5 (59) thrashing of Natimuk United.

The Baggies enter the finals as one of the league’s best attacking sides, with 11 goals to Cameron Wickham and 10 to league-leading goal-kicker Paul Summers at the weekend showcasing the potency of their forward set-up.
