LANGWARRIN will need a miracle to gain promotion into Premier league in 2011 following its 3-1 home loss to Springvale White Eagles on Saturday.

And Frankston Pines' 1-0 loss to Heatherton has put it back in the relegation zone with just four rounds remaining.

If Pines does get the chop it is likely it will line up against Peninsula Strikers and Mornington in division 3 next year.

While this is not the result the club wants, playing against local clubs would boost numbers through the gate and could help stabilise the club, which is headed for its third consecutive demotion.

Mornington defeated Waverley Wanderers 2-1 away on Saturday to keep its promotion hopes flickering.

The Gulls have the best run home of the top three, not playing any side above them, and may yet secure a remarkable third consecutive promotion. However, this will depend on whether South Springvale falters in the final rounds including in its encounter against runaway leader Noble Park.

Peninsula Strikers were scheduled to meet Kingston City last night and will again line up in division 3 after falling away in the second half of the season.

In the Provisional leagues, Skye belted University of Melbourne 4-1 to keep the heat on Ashburton for a promotion spot with Frank Dimu and Jason Alizzi finding the net.

Seaford continued its assault on the division 3 with a 4-2 win over White Star Dandenong at the weekend with the Curd brothers, Andrew and Steph, scoring for the table leaders.

However, Seaford will have to remain focused with Keysborough and Eltham breathing down its neck and each just one point off the running.
