Advancing through the Mininera and District Football League’s second semi-final, the Magpies are fresh from a week’s rest.
They’re set to meet an in-form Lismore Derrinallum.
Magpies co-coach Joe Otto said the rest had aided his side’s recovery after a bruising second semi-final.
We had a decent training session on the Saturday, but I think we’ve freshened up the boys a bit.

“We definitely had a few sorer bodies after that one,” Otto said.
“We looked at the week off as big advantage. We had a decent training session on the Saturday, but I think we’ve freshened up the boys a bit.
“Hopefully we can come good this weekend.”
Otto, a former North Ballarat Rooster, expected contested ball to play a decisive role in the grand final.
“Considering we’re playing on Tatyoon, which isn’t a big oval, I think it will be a pretty contested type of game,” he said.
“Lismore are a good side. We’ve played them twice and both times have been close, so I think it’ll follow that again.”
The senior grand final will begin at 2.30pm at Tatyoon Recreation Reserve.
