The final is scheduled to commence at 6pm.
Spectators are very welcome to come along and have a look at some quality cricket.
THERE will also be a preliminary match played at 'The Park' between Kentucky and Colts from 2.30 p.m. which means a replay of both games from last weekend.
Not very often a cricket doubleheader has been played here in Walcha and there is little doubt spectators should expect some big hitting during the day.
ON THE subject of big hitting Swamp all-rounder Lee Harrison was in his prime last Saturday when he clobbered six 6s and four 4s during his unbeaten 66 against Uralla. The innings was compiled off just 17 scoring shops.

STARING at the prospect of his third duck in succession Swamp opener Ben France bounced back with a Turton Cup high score of 71 runs which included nine 4s and two 6s.
We can net Ben was happy with that result and somewhat relieved to get the ducks off his back as well.
COLTS veteran Paul Pittman handed in a five star performance when he spearheaded his team to victory over Kentucky last Saturday at Peter Fenwicke Oval.
Fielding first Paul opened the bowling taking an impressive 3/17 off his four overs to help restrict Kentucky to 131.
THEN when called on to bat, the first drop Paul made an unbeaten 71 runs which included a six and 13 fours.
During his innings 42 of those runs came from 10 consecutive scoring shots two 4s, a six then another seven 4s.
FORMER Kentucky all-rounder Tony Blake now plays in the Inverell competition and has done so since moving over there six or seven years ago.
Last weekend Tony was on fire with his left arm swing bowling capturing 7/45 to assist his team Rebels in knocking over Glen Innes for just 90 runs.
Rebels snuck home by the skin of their teeth after they compiled 8/329 first up.
IT ISN'T the first time Tony has taken seven wickets in an innings. He did it for Kentucky against Rugby League in late January 2012.
On that occasion he sent down 7.1 overs, three of which were maidens to snare seven wickets for six runs as League we're bundled out for just 27.

LOCAL squash player Melissa Elliot, who has won multiple Walcha championships, competed at the recent Australian Masters titles on the Gold Coast.
Melissa won her age division and also division 12 with overall divisions going down to 20. Well done Melissa.
THREE Walcha Junior rugby players Harry Partridge, Jack Power and Sam Timbs were members of a MIAS Rugby Squad which toured New Zealand where they played a couple of physical matches against Christchurch and Burnside rugby clubs.
The boys formed some great friendship and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
DURING the NIAS tour the boys received some great training opportunities with coaches of Canterbury Rugby and also got to visit the home of the Crusaders where they were shown around the training facilities.
A FINAL reminder that the Rugby League Club will be conducting their AGM this Sunday November 3 from 3pm. at the Bowling Club.
All positions are open to interested individuals and everyone is welcome to attend.
