In the first match, Kirby’s Kings were up against Zenith in the elimination final.
The Kings dominated from the outset, with John, Reggie and Willy all playing well to claim a singles and double frame each, as Rob and William both picked up a singles frame.
Franko pitched in with a doubles win to bag a 7-nil victory and book the Kings a spot in this week’s preliminary final.
Zenith had no luck throughout the match and had no response to the Kings’ determination in the clean sweep.
In the qualifying final, M8s and Gangers went head to head, with the former getting off to a strong start to lead 4-2 by the halfway mark of the game.
M8s then went frame for frame until the 11th, when Guy and Ricky chalked up a supreme seven-ball victory to ensure the line-up put its name on the first spot in the wet season decider on April 11.
The result could have been different but for a couple of Gangers following in the black ball, but the team still has a second bite at grand final glory.
Matty was best for Gangers and won two singles, and teamed to take a doubles frame with Michael, who was stoked to take a singles frame from the in-form Dave.
For M8s, Ricky was unbeaten, winning two singles and two doubles, Guy continued to be consistent by winning two singles and a doubles, and Kegz kicked in a singles and a doubles as part of the 7-4 win.
The preliminary final will be played between Gangers and the Kings at the Katherine Club at 7pm on April 9, with the winner backing up on April 11 at 1pm to battle M8s for the premiership silverware.
The trophy presentation and annual general meeting will follow the grand final.
