In addition to the Hoggies Wines Barber Shield Grand Final being played at Frew Park, the Crouch and Cox Bros Shields will also be decided at Malseed Park and Reidy Park respectively this weekend.

In the B Grade Glencoe and Gambier Central will fight for the end prize after a tightly contested season.

Little has separated the likes of East Gambier, Glencoe, West Gambier and Gambier Central throughout the season, but only two remain after last weekend’s semi-finals.

Glencoe is the reigning premier and has the chance to defend its title after overcoming West Gambier in a low-scoring battle.

When many struggled to exceed double figures, Tory Weaver rose above the rest and his run-a-ball 76 was the difference between the two sides.

His fighting innings pushed Glencoe to 132 despite the likes of Shane Dycer and Niall Easterbrook collecting nine wickets.

The Roos appeared on course to chase the target down at 0/53, but Trueman Schrader had other ideas.

His five-wicket haul turned the game on its head as West lost 10/40 to give up the contest and send Glencoe to the decider.

Centrals had a far smoother ride overcoming minor-premier East Gambier by nine wickets.

The win was set up by the well-rounded bowling attack led by Hayden Sanders which knocked over the Bulldogs for 83.

Centrals also have plenty big hitters with the bat including Josh Thompson, who has hit two tons and a double century this summer.

Kalangadoo is determined to go back-to-back in the C Grade after wrapping up an outright win in its semi-final against Glencoe.

Despite only posting a first innings score of 82, the Magpies bowled out the Murphies for 76 and 69 with Nick Herring collecting eight scalps to enter the big dance with confidence.

Meanwhile, Kalangadoo’s opponent Mil Lel is prepared for any situation after edging out Gambier Central by one wicket.

Youngster Archer Virtanen was the hero scoring 55 to creep past the 188-run target and he will look for support from the top order led by captain Shane Grigg.
