This will be the match up to watch as both teams have things to prove.

Still in the Western Division of the Hon Julian Fraser Save the Seed League it will be a show down between Avengers and Da 3rd who is the favourite to win. But in the Hon Julian Fraser Save the Seed League the outcome of any game is never a sure thing.
