The rain played havoc with cricket last Saturday, with no play possible in the Bairnsdale Cricket Association.
The Seagulls were disappointed not to get another chance to test their skills against ladder leader Lindenow South Glenaladale who took first innings points on day one of the two-day fixture.
Lakes was keen to get back in the middle and show that its first innings score of just 113 was just an aberration in a successful season, which had seen them victorious in the first five matches.
The task will be no easier in round seven action when the second-placed Seagulls host fourth-ranked Meerlieu, who play an attacking brand of cricket, led by match- winning batsmen Jay Peiris and Rohan Blandford, throw in Reagan Kyle and the all round ability of Zimbabwean Connor Mitchell, and the Tussocks are a formidable foe.
Lakes Entrance will hope to wear the Meerlieu bowling attack down, which will be led from one end by the tireless Mitchell and his aggressive spinners.
Josh Sackfield and Jack Timms have impressed with the bat this season and with co-captain Ben John due for a big performance, the Seagulls have plenty to look forward to as they try to prove to themselves and the cricket community they are a legitimate finals contender.
In “B” grade Lakes Entrance is away to West Bairnsdale, while on Friday night the Maroon under 13 side play at home against Buchan, while the White side head to Orbost to take on the arch enemy.
The White side suffered a dramatic one-run loss to Wy Yung in the previous round.
