The stage is set for a mouth-watering encounter in Division 2 of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL) next Saturday.
Somerville will host Langwarrin, as the two undefeated teams – and clear front-runners – will do battle.
The Eagles – led by Ryan Gillis – have been in supreme touch.
And while it was expected they would demolish Tyabb, Somerville didn’t play with a shred of complacency in the 16.20 (116) to 4.2 (26) victory.
Gillis kicked six for the Eagles, defeating the opposition on his own.
Pearcedale, meanwhile, suffered its first loss of the season, going down to Karingal 9.11 (65) to 10.15 (75).
The Dales trailed at every break and ultimately fell when the final siren sounded.
While the loss sends Pearcedale back to the drawing board, the Dales have a friendly draw in the next three weeks with Mornington, Crib Point and Hastings in its sights.
Brandon White continued his terrific form for Devon Meadows, as the Panthers dismantled Rye under lights on Saturday.
White kicked five and had 34 disposals on Anzac Day last week and followed that up with a further three this week.
The Panthers ability to kick big scores is becoming a problem for opposition teams, as yet again they reached triple-figures in the 18.12 (120) to 6.7 (43).
Devon Meadows – which now currently sit in third – should collect another win against Hastings next week, before it faces the ultimate test the following week when it hosts Langwarrin.
In other matches across Division 2, Mornington went down to Seaford, and Chelsea and Langwarrin thumped Hastings and Crib Point respectively.
In Division 1: Bonbeach upset Sorrento, Dromana beat Edithvale-Aspendale, Frankston Bombers recorded a win over Pines, Frankston YCW defeated Red Hill and Rosebud went down to Mt Eliza.
