Rounding out the top five, in order, are Shelburne (34 PTS), Clinton (32 PTS), Seaforth (32 PTS) and Saugeen Shores (32 PTS).

The bottom final three playoff spots, as it stands currently, are occupied by Tillsonburg (28 PTS), Durham (25 PTS) and Minto (25 PTS).

One game remains in the regular season, that being Minto taking on Lucknow this evening. Minto can avoid taking on the Wolves in the first round of the "AA" Playoffs with a victory today over Lucknow.
