The winner will progress to the decider while the loser will back up on Sunday in the preliminary final. Cuballing finished in third place after three wins in the last five weeks of the season. Reigning premiers Towns hung on to fourth place despite losing their past five games, as their hopes of back-to-back titles remain alive. Towns defeated Harrismith in last year’s decider and were sweating on last weekend’s results as the fifth-placed Williams had the chance to knock them out of the top four. Cuballing and Towns clash in Saturday’s elimination final at Cuballing Sports Ground, the winner progressing to the preliminary final against the loser of Pingelly-Noonebin and Wandering.
