 Teams will gather in Dimboola on Saturday for the penultimate round of the Wimmera Hockey Association regular season, and although with finals not far away, most teams already know where they stand, there are still several matches with outcomes that will influence the order of the finals.  Damp conditions under threatening skies presented a challenge for players and officials at Warracknabeal on Saturday for round thirteen of the Wimmera Hockey Association season, and with some teams adapting better than others, some spirited matches were played.  A recent study of the economic effects of events focused on the Wimmera River showed that the Peter Taylor Barefoot Water Ski Tournament earlier this year generated over $185,000 for the local economy.
