In other matches, Berry-Shoalhaven Heads outrighted Ulladulla United on day one at Zealand Oval - on the back of strong performances from Alec Dobson (65 not out) and Max Carr-McCarron (6/12 across the two innings) - and North Nowra-Cambewarra's fixture with Sussex Inlet at Lyrebird Park finished in a draw, after it was too wet for any play on day two.

As a result, the Magpies finished the regular season in first place, on 168 points, and will now play fourth-placed Bay at Zealand Oval, for a spot in the decider.

While second placed Sussex (131 points) will host Ex-Servos at the Thompson Street Sporting Complex, in the other two-day semi-final.
