Wolves close in on minor title

Staff WriterJoondalup Times

With just two rounds remaining, the Wolves are two games clear on top of the table, meaning victory at Lakeside Recreation Centre on Friday will hand them the minor title before the season is over.

The women's team, on the other hand, needs to win at least one of its last two appearances to shore up third above fourth-placed Mandurah, which has an extra game remaining.

Should the Wolves lose both their games and the Magic win all three, they will snatch third spot.
