Leaders Kyabram host Katandra in the 45-over bout and will look to stake its claim as the fancy for the two-day flag by busting out the pad and polish come the day’s end.
Patrick Parsons was the prime mover for his side when it last faced the Eagles, clubbing 65 as well as a five-for to steer his side across the line.
Of late, fellow Redbacks Tim Nelson and Kyle Fitzgerald have scored runs for fun, while Kanwal Singh and Connor Hawes’ efforts with the ball have held up the side on the other end of the spectrum, snaring 23 and 22 wickets apiece.
Meanwhile, Katandra man Robert Trewin has oozed class all year having joined the elite few to breach the 350-run barrier for the season.
Touted to spearhead Katandra’s bowling attack will be Andrew Nicholls, who has proved a danger with the Kookaburra.
As the only Eagle with more than 20 scalps during the competition, Nicholls will be looking to inflict some damage with the white ball at Kyabram Recreation Reserve from 11 am tomorrow.
● Toolamba skipper Greg Watts will be looking to steer his side home in the C-grade final when Numurkah rolls into town tomorrow.
Comfortably the competition’s best, Toolamba’s very own mister fix-it boasts ridiculous bowling figures of 45 wickets at an average of 4.6 and is more than capable with the bat having tallied 349 runs for the Taipans.
Other names to look out for within the hosting camp will be Aidan Callegari (232 runs) and Xavier Dowell (14 wickets).
David Roberts leads the line with the ball for the visiting Blues, with his 15 removals the season high for Numurkah, while Riley Dawson follows close behind in the race with 11.
