Add in one short-form premiership and that's what's on offer to Allansford-Panmure, Brierly-Christ Church, North Warrnambool Eels and Port Fairy ahead of Saturday's Warrnambool and District Cricket Association Twenty20 semi-finals.
Allansford-Panmure will host North Warrnambool Eels from 12pm at Merrivale Oval while Port Fairy and Brierly-Christ Church will do battle at 3.30pm.
Like all things in Twenty20 cricket and one-day cricket, there are differences. Different teams excel in different formats.
- Gordon McLeod
The two winners will advance to the decider at Port Fairy's Avery's Paddock on Sunday and book a place in the $15,000-to-the-winner Sungold Cup.
Warrnambool and District Cricket Association chairman Gordon McLeod said spectators could expect to see a high standard of cricket across the weekend.
He said the qualifying teams - the Gators, Seagulls and Bulls are in the bottom half of the association's one-day ladder - showed the evenness of the competition.

"Like all things in Twenty20 cricket and one-day cricket, there are differences. Different teams excel in different formats," McLeod said.
"It's pleasing to see. North Warrnambool Eels are proven performers in the Twenty20 format but these other three teams are not going to be pushovers either.
"All it needs is someone to make a big score or set the team up and field well - that's very important in these games - I think it's very open."
