The final series begins on Thursday night, with both A Grade matches to be played in Casterton at Island Park.

 Of particular interest will be the qualifier between Carapook and Coleraine, who are yet to meet this season due to wet weather.

The elimination final will be between Sandford White and Gritjurk.

B Grade finals will be played in Coleraine.

Nareen have come into some good form recently, as they take on Konong in the qualifier, while cellar-dwellers, Catholic and Sandford Red, will also meet for the first time due to rain interruptions.

All matches are to start at 7pm and each team is to supply balls.
