Ladder leaders Echuca 1 will head into the finals off the back of an undefeated season, boasting a 16-0 record.
The 2022-2023 premier hasn’t lost a game since round 17 last season, when it went down to LBU 2, and is in ominous form ahead of its sudden-death clash this weekend.
Awaiting them at Echuca Lawn Tennis Club will be Echuca 2, with the clubmates set to fight it out for a spot in the decider.
Runners-up to Echuca 1 last season, Echuca 2 has struggled in comparison this season, sporting a losing record of 6-10.
Echuca 1 holds the edge, winning each of the three matches the two sides have played against each other this season, and it will take a mammoth upset for Echuca 2 to triumph on Saturday.
Rochester 1 and Rich River will battle out their semi-final match-up at Echuca Lawn Tennis Club, with the host set to be the heavy favourite.
Rochy had the better of the regular season, finishing in second place with an 11-4 record, while Rich River’s 9-7 was good for third place.
These two sides matched up in the final round of the home-and-away season just last week, with Rochester logging a routine victory 8-79 to 5-75.
Including that win, Rochy has won three of the four encounters between the sides so far, with a 12-98 to 1-52 loss in round 11 the only blemish and the only time Rochester lost all season that wasn’t to the undefeated reigning champions Echuca 1.
