Coleambally have won their only clash with Exies this year, after the second game was washed out.
To win, Coly need to be disciplined in their bowling, hold their catches and bat in partnerships.
It should be a great game and the team would love plenty of home town support from 1pm on Exies 2 this Saturday, March 14.
Player profiles for the grand final are as follows:
Sunil Babu: (All-rounder) Averages 30 with the bat and 11 with the ball. When Sunil is on, look out.
Luke Roberts: (Batter) Solid top order batter who will drop anchor for the team to bat around.
Andy Fattore: (All-rounder) A big breakout season for the young gun. Gorrell Cup U16 Riverina Rep. Can turn a game in one over with bat or ball.
Jake Breed (captain): (All-rounder) Great leader of the troops who can tactfully outsmart the opposition. Needs to form partnerships on Saturday with bat and ball.
Luke McWhirter: (Batter/wicketkeeper) Very quick and tight behind the stumps who settles the team down if a collapse occurs, with solid run scoring capabilities.
Shaun Iddles: (Bowler) The club president is equal with wickets taken for the club this season and gives nothing away. A fantastic competitor who gives it his all in any role in the game.
Sam Strachan: (Bowler) Equal club wicket taker who tricks batsmen with his variety.
Ruben McKersie: (All-rounder) School captain who is electric in the field. Scores runs quickly and lively around the team.
Andy McIntyre: (Bowler) Slingy action and gets a lot of wickets off a short run-up. Wears his heart on his sleeve.
Abby Trezise: (All-rounder) Rips in and can be a partnership breaker with ball in hand.
Sam Casey: (All-rounder) Swashbuckling batsmen, fast in the field and bowls great line and length. A great competitor to watch.
Cooper Smith: (Wicketkeeper/Batter) Leading club run scorer this season who was man of the match in last year's final.
Michael Hodgson: (Star contributor) The old fella is very experienced and loves a sledge or two to unsettle the opposition.
Vik Sidhu: (All-rounder) Solid opening batsmen who is also a partnership breaker with ball in hand.
Creet Cup Challenge
The Coleambally Nomads ventured to Hay last Sunday to try and win the Creet Cup away from the strong rep side.
Winning the toss, Coly chose to bat but was on the back foot early, losing Tom Burge and Jack Weymouth-Smith for a duck each.
Phil and Alistair Burge teamed up to move the side to 72 when Phil fell right on drinks.
Alistair passed 50 with poise and precision, but was out thought by Hay and a part of a team collapse of 7/20.
Shawn Iddles and Sam Breed (21 not out) combined for a last wicket partnership of 33 to form a defendable team total of 132.
Coly took two quick wickets, but Hay settled in and moved to 65 before Andy Fattore struck.
Hay were 5/100 at the last drinks break, but struck the ball nicely to win by five wickets and keep a stranglehold on the Creet Cup throughout the winter.
