Following last weeks upset victory over Claremont Cambio Cumbre, the Canning Ultra Tigers will head into Saturday's livestream clash against South Perth full of confidence. With the Tigers now starting to gap the early relegation battle, their next target could be the SFL newcomers Spearwood Lions who currently sit in fifth, just four points ahead.
Canning goalkeeper Lachlan McAlindon was typically upbeat before last rounds upset, perhaps sensing the Tigers were about to start their typical late season run of points earlier than usual. A victory over South Perth and the Tigers will surely start to believe they could be the ones filling fourth spot come finals time.
While South Perth have won just one from eight this season, they have had some close encounters, and last weeks 2-1 lossto Cockburn EWA was no exception. While the transfer season can't come quick enough for last season's Championship minor premiers, they have reportedly been searching for a quality coach to lead the team in the right direction. With the ageing Spaniard Alex Herrera in goals, it remains to be seen for how long they can stop the Tigers onslaught in a match they desperately need to win to leapfrog the troubles Murdoch Warriors into seventh spot.
