Comets face crunch-time

– Stuart Teather
STATE League soccer will reach fever pitch this weekend with the final round to determine the fates of local clubs for 2010.
The Casey Comets are not out of danger, and could still face relegation from State League Two South East if they do not defeat bottom-side Kingston City on Saturday.
The Comets are a game clear of relegation at the moment, but if they lose and South Springvale pulls off an unlikely win against Dandenong City, the Souths move past the Comets, resigning Tony Saunders’ charges to a season in State League Three.
Berwick City seemingly has a simple equation in front of it: defeat North Caulfield and earn promotion to State League Two, or lose and spend another year in League Three.
But the club might already be safe, with a tribunal decision to be made Wednesday night (after the News goes to press) on whether it should get the points from the round 20 clash against Springvale City.
Should Berwick be awarded the points from the clash, it will have done enough to secure a promotion spot, regardless of the result against North Caulfield.
