Yesterday's clash against Emu Valley Cricket Association was abandoned — giving both sides points for a draw — but it had no impact on Murray's spot in the Queen Elizabeth Oval decider from 10 am today.
The outfit will take on Gisborne District Cricket Association as it looks to make amends for last year's defeat in the final contest of the week at the hands of rival Goulburn Murray Cricket.
GMC finished its tournament with another defeat yesterday, making 6-152 against Wangaratta District Cricket Association before losing by two wickets at the end of the clash.
Stephen Barrett (48), Daniel Coombs (32) and Luke Du Plooy (24 not out) led the way with bat in hand for GMC before Fraser Cleary (4-23) and Du Plooy (2-12) did their best to restrict the opposition.
It eventually was to no avail though as Wangaratta reached the required total in the 41st over.
Murray's division two side was also in action across the week, with the highlight an unbeaten century from Dean Edge in the lone victory of the campaign on Wednesday.
His stirring knock came from 109 deliveries and helped his side post 7-233 against Red Cliffs Cricket Association.
Jack Andrew (3-2), Aaron Harding and Ben Lukies (both 2-24) helped roll the opposition for 160 in reply.
Rory Knight (4-16), Lukies (2-15), Harding (2-18), Luke Quinn (35) and Hugh Hyde (27 from 86) provided individual highlights in round one, as did Lukies (3-10), Will Lavery (3-19), Quinn (43) and Andrew (21 from 62) in round two.
It put Lukies near the top of the table in the division two bowling ranks with seven wickets at seven, while Harding secured five at 12.8.
Edge (120 at 60) and Quinn (93 at 31) were in the top 10 on the batting ladder for the competition.
