GORDON took a big step towards playing finals when it beat fellow contender Learmonth by 34 points on Saturday.
The Hawks will be all but assured of a finals berth if they can negotiate back-to-back games against bottom pair Rokewood-Corindhap (1-12) and Illabrook (0-13) in the next two weeks. Ballan slipped to 16th (3-10) with its 6.8 (44) to 3.2 (20) loss against Newlyn.
