FIVE won't go into four but the finalists of Gisborne District Cricket Association's McIntyre Cup are no closer to being sorted after the latest round of one-day action at the weekend.
Woodend remains leader of the pack on 42 points after rolling Wallan for 98 and polishing off the target with six wickets in hand.
Sunbury United (39) jumped Riddell (33) to claim second place on the table after an eight-wicket win in their meeting, while Bacchus Marsh (36) holds third after beating Romsey.
Rupertswood's win against Macedon keeps it fifth on 30 points, right on the cusp of the top four.
Rupo's Matthew Busuttil (52) led the scoring as the home team posted 9-178 after being sent in by Macedon on their home deck.
Joshua Powell (3-32) led the Rupertswood bowlers as Macedon was all out for 123 in reply.
At Bacchus Marsh, the Bulls posted 8-191 batting first and restricted Romsey to 120 off 39.4 overs.
Dennis O'Loughlin (59 and 3-19) led the way with bat and ball on a big day for the Bacchus Marsh captain.
At Riddell, the home team posted 9-154 batting first but couldn't break a devastating Sunbury United partnership of 149 between James Hughes (71 not out) and Ryan Billinghurst (75no).
United was 2-6 in the chase but the third-wicket stand powered the reigning premier to 2-155 in just 34 overs.
Woodend's Warren Else top-scored with 44 as his team made 4-100 in 32 overs to chase down Wallan's 98.
