Craigieburn and Edinburgh will do battle in a grand final for the second time this season in the CV women’s Community Cricket north-west division.
The pair met in the T20 grand final earlier in the season and on Saturday both won through to the one-day decider.
Edinburgh won the T20 grand final easily. But Craigieburn will take some confidence into next Saturday’s match knowing they are the only team to beat Edinburgh this season and have also tied with them.
Craigieburn, which finished third on the ladder, reached the one-day grand final by beating higher-ranked Geelong at Belmont Common Reserve.
Chasing Geelong’s total of 6-140 from 40 overs, Craigieburn got the runs with seven wickets and 15 balls in hand.
Craigieburn shared the wickets around, five bowlers taking one each with one run-out.
Skipper Rebecca Lines top-scored in Craigieburn’s chase, making 37. Dianna Cachia made 35 and Litara Va’auli was 33 not out.
Edinburgh defeated Altona Roosters by seven wickets in the other semi final, easily chasing down the Roosters’ total of 99.
Craigieburn last won the one-day title in the 2013-14 season.
This season’s grand final is at WT Peterson Oval, North Fitzroy from 1pm on Saturday.
