The top four of the women's North Eastern Soccer League is settled after results went as expected in round 19 action on Sunday.
Tatura's 2-1 win against Cobram Victory puts the Ibises seven points clear of the Victory, meaning the top four can't change in the last two rounds of the competition.
Rose Scrimizzi was the star for Tatura, scoring a brace, with the second coming in the second half to break the 1-all deadlock the team's shared at the main break.
Shepparton United extended its lead on top of the ladder with an 8-0 thrashing of cellar-dweller Kyabram.
Megan Carr bagged a hat-trick and Holly Dimstas a double, while Vanessa Loverso, Jess Theobald and Dana Karolidis also added their names to the scoresheet in the whitewash.
Cobram held onto second-place with a 3-0 victory against sixth-placed Numurkah.
The Tigers held a 1-0 lead at half-time, but put the game beyond doubt in the second half, with Tania Doyle scoring twice and Emma Reuss bagging one.
In the other game of the round, Shepparton kept the pressure on Cobram with the Reds scoring a 2-0 win over Shepparton South.
The Reds are just goal-difference behind the Tigers in the race for second-place, but Samantha McIntosh helped their cause with two second-half goals to secure the three points against the Southerners.
Cobram hosts Shepparton next week in what shapes as the match of the round, with the winner set to get the double chance.
