Former teammates Mark Ryan and Brad Orr will square off at Shepparton Golf for a spot in the final after both produced strong form when play began last Sunday.
Tallygaroopna's Ryan had to win three matches to make his way through to the semi-finals, but took each of his fixtures by a double-figure margin.
He beat Shepparton Park's Josh Warren 25-15, Hill Top's Trevor Downie 25-14 and Rushworth's Bruce Wootton 25-15 to book a spot in the final four in impressive fashion.
Orr also dealt out some beating, taking down Mooroopna's Bruce Anselmi 25-7 in the round of 16 before seeing off Tatura's Nick Boyd 25-13 in the quarter-finals.
Orr will be looking to reclaim the title he previously won in the 2016-17 season.
Meanwhile, the other semi-final will have Kyabram's Greg Shilling battle East Shepparton's Daniel Nichols in a clash of the titans.
Shilling saw off Mooroopna Golf's Allan Beggs 25-12 before booking his spot in the semis with a comfortable win against Violet Town's Graham Jones, 25-9.
Nichols had two of the tournament's closer matches, beating Avenel's Noel Slater 25-20 and Murchison's Jim Tweddle 25-21.
Sunday's semi-finals and final begin at Shepparton Golf at 9.30 am.
