But here it is.
The Bloods face a fiery challenger, with minor premier North Warrnambool Eagles chasing premierships across all three senior grades on Saturday.
“There’s always a desire to beat North Warrnambool,” Terang Mortlake reserves coach Todd Robertson said.
“We’ve forged a fairly strong rivalry over the last couple of years.
“We beat them fairly convincingly at the start of the year and then we lost by one point to them in the semi-final. The boys are very excited to be here again.
“I have no doubt this one will be the same – a really tough game.”
In the under 18.5 competition, Cobden Bombers are vying for a second consecutive premiership against the high-flying North Warrnambool Eagles.
