Gippsland Times | Will it be Ellinbank or Neerim-Neerim South playing Buln Buln for the Ellinbank and District senior football premiership?
Saturday's preliminary final at Lang Lang will decide the grand final line-up. Ellinbank, coming off a loss, will need to lift as they face a red-hot Cats who have easily sailed through two knock-out finals.
The Eagles remained a chance in a low-scoring affair against Buln Buln on the weekend, only trailing by 15 points at the final change. However, the minor premiership winning Lyrebirds broke it open in the final quarter, to win by 27 points and book their place in the grand final.
On the other hand, Neerim-Neerim South led Trafalgar from go to whoa, displaying their immense talent on the way to crushing their opponents by 81 points. The reigning premiers are no doubt in form and playing inspired footy.
Despite finishing the season in fourth and having to advance "the hard way", the Cats will be very confident heading into the preliminary final.
