Veteran Miller is putting together a season to remember, topping it off with back-to-back centuries in Wendouree's two wins last weekend which has moved the Red Caps to the top of the Firsts ladder.

Miller's season is one that would make any international player proud with scores of 128, 115 not out, 108 not out and 110 seeing him with an average of 82.1 runs per innings.

And if he can find 97 more runs combined in the last two matches, he will also reach the magical 1000 runs for the season.

Saturday's clash with Darley will give both sides a chance to further strengthen their premiership aspirations, as the pair are already guaranteed a place in the finals.

Darley has come into form at exactly the right time of the season with four straight wins, intersected by the abandoned match on February 13.

THE other highlight of the round is the clash between Mount Clear and Golden Point.

While a lot of the talk in the competition will revolve whether Ballarat-Redan and North Ballarat will gain points in an appeal into their round seven clash next weekend, the other side stuck in the middle is Golden Point.

Right now, Golden Point sits sixth on the ladder and picked up a much-needed confidence boosting win over Buninyong in the previous round, set up by an outstanding bowling effort, led by 5-17 from opening bowler Andrew Warrick.

Mount Clear lost top spot in the last round, but still managed to score 255 against Wendouree, showing they remained primed for finals.

EAST BALLARAT, Ballarat-Redan and North Ballarat all face away matches against the bottom three clubs in Brown Hill, Naploleons-Sebastopol and Buninyong respectively.

The trio will be keen to do what is required to bank the points and move onto the final round.
