The Reds will renew ties with Pascoe Vale at Morshead Park on Wednesday night, holding a 2-0 lead in an abandoned clash dating back to round 18.

A win would see the club join ranks with Werribee City and Port Melbourne on 27 points heading into the final round of the season.

However, Ballarat’s healthy goal differential will see it momentarily, and perhaps permanently, jump out of the final two ladder positions.

Reds player/manager James Robinson indicated last week he would use the same squad that trounced Melbourne Knights on Saturday.

Robinson has no intentions of parking the bus, and says his side will approach the contest the same as any other.

The final round of the season will see Werribee and Port Melbourne pitted against each other, while the McDonald’s Red Devils will take on second-placed Oakleigh Cannons.

A draw against the Cannons would confirm Ballarat’s spot in the NPLV for season 2015.

A favourable loss could also guarantee the club safety.

“It’s not much fun to be honest, but that’s football and there’s just as much excitement or tension as a grand final to be honest,” Red Devils chairman Duncan Smith said of a thrilling end of year.

“There are all sorts of things that could happen – some four or five or six different results.

“I believe we have done enough this season to stay in the league, but I’m sure that the other two clubs are saying that as well.”

Wednesday’s kick-off will start at 7.30pm, with the club offering free entry.
