Coolac will Face Tumut Plains at Tumut in a Grand Final which is being played in the big smoke (Tumut) even though Coolac went through to the GF first.
Coolac defeated the Palindromes on March 8 in a close enough match where Tumut ran out of batters in the 36th over with their score at 112.
Coolac put up much more of a fight with the bat, losing 5 wickets for 115 in 33 overs, chasing Tumut’s total.
Tumut’s Luke Armstrong hit a half century and he was helped in the middle order by Stephan Gill 18 and Dylan Butt 16, however, three ducks were recorded and no other players got in to double figures.
Samuel Sharman stepped up and took 4 for 33 while Rob Barron jagged 3 for 17.
Coolac’s five wickets down saw some good starts through Caleb Piper 18, Duane Shawcross 8, Angus Stapleton 10 and 14 not out by Adam Graham with the establishing innings of 38 off 68 for Tim Graham proving the catalyst in the win.
Coolac have had a week off to think about who they would face. It went down to the wire with Wyangle posting 127 runs off their 40 overs against Tumut on Saturday with the latter desperate to line up against Coolac in the big dance. Tumut managed a four to tally 131 with just 3 balls to spare.
The scintillating win giving the Plains a second chance at Coolac this Saturday.
The Grand Final will commence at 1:00pm at Tumut on Bull Paddock Sports Ground Oval #1.
