The Victoria Shamrocks will open the 2017 Western Lacrosse Association playoffs on Aug. 3.

But where theyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ll be playing is anyoneB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s guess.

They certainly hope the opener will be at The Q Centre in front of Shamrocks faithful, but that depends on how the club fares over the seasonB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s final two games.

As of Wednesday the leagueB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s top four clubs were separated by a mere three points. While each of the Maple Ridge Burrards (11-6-0), New Westminster Salmonbellies (10-6-1), Burnaby Lakers (9-5-1), and the B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜Rocks (10-5-1) have clinched spots, the order that theyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ll finish remains a mystery.

The ShamrocksB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ penultimate game goes Thursday night against the Salmonbelles. The regular season finale will take place Friday against the Burnaby Lakers at The Q Centre (7:30 p.m. opening faceoff).

The Shamrocks will have a day off in between each of their playoff games and the series will alternate between The Q Centre and the Lower Mainland.

Game 7, if necessary, would take place on Aug. 15.
