Bowlers had the week off due to the Victorian Championships with Chalambar set to host Landsborough in division one action.
Even though the Landsborough team has become a lot more competitive, the home team should be to strong for the visitors and get the points.
Stawell will host cross town rivals Stawell Golf in what should be a close game as the players from both teams are very familiar with the Stawell green.
Bragging rights will not be the only thing on offer, as both teams need a win to stay in touch with the top four.
Ararat VRI be on its home green when it comes up against Aradale in a round seven clash.
This is another match with finals implications, as both teams sit outside the top four and will be hoping to get maximum points to close the gap to the top group.
In the last game of the top division, it is crunch time for Ararat who will play at home against ladder leaders Lake Bolac.
A loss for Ararat would make it hard for them to push for a finals position with the halfway point of the season approaching.
In division two matches, Ararat VRI will play Lake Bolac Black at home with the winner to be in the top four and the loser to drop out of the top group by the end of the round.
Willaura are due to play Stawell Golf Gold but are yet to make it onto the green so far this season with another forfeit likely to gift the Stawell team maximum points.
Top of the ladder Stawell Blue will be back at home and should get the points in its clash against an undermanned Chalambar team.
Lake Bolac Red will play the Stawell Gold team at Lake Bolac and will give themselves a real chance of upsetting the top four team and moving closer to a finals spot of its own.
Ararat Blue are sitting second on the ladder and should have no trouble handling Lake Bolac White at home to further secure their spot in finals contention.
Stawell Golf Blue have not be able to win many games this year with some close defeats but will like their chances against a visiting Ararat Gold combination.
The Blue team will be hoping a win can build confidence within the team going into the final few weeks before the Christmas mid-season break.
In the final game of the fixture, Ararat Green will play Aradale at Ararat.
Both teams sit next to each other on the ladder and need to win to keep in touch with the top four and a finals spot.
With less than a month remaining before the players take time off for Christmas, these remaining games will be important for teams making a push up the ladder.
Games start at 1pm across the division.
