When the teams last met in the semi-final, Ballan had a narrow three-shot win over Waubra with each team sharing two rinks up. Playing in last Saturday&#8217;s preliminary final, Waubra had a comfortable 21-shot win over Sebastopol to set up the meeting with Ballan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We expect our match shall be very close and they will be tough enough to beat,&#8221; Waubra&#8217;s Peter Goldsmith said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\"

their three Saturday Pennant sides making the finals, will be swinging the whole club&#8217;s support behind their one remaining side in this tomorrow&#8217;s final.<\/p>\n<p>Invermay and Beaufort are two other country clubs that will meet in the final to play off for the Division 3 premiership.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams have played consistently well throughout the season, with Invermay the leading team
