NSW winter pennant
All three Rich River teams won their semi-finals on Sunday to storm into the grand finals to be held on Sunday at Deniliquin.
Matt Jean’s division one scratch team defeated Deniliquin 3.5 matches to 1.5 with Paddy Hannon, Aaron Loader, and Jayden Dixon all winning their matches.
Murray Downs will be the favourite this Sunday as they are undefeated so far this season.
Kev Saillard, Craig Griffin, and youngster Jaxson McMinn won their semi-final matches in their win over Murray Downs and will need to perform again as they are playing Deniliquin on their home track, which is going to be a tough task.
Keith and Sue Jenkinson led the division three side and after finishing top of the ladder demolished Barham in the semi-final four matches to one.
Colleen Lynch, Josie Kirkman, and Jan McGuiness are seasoned pennant players and combined with Keith and Sue should be on the winning team.
