Crows or Bloods for grand final?

by Davyd Reid
It will all be on the line at Lang Lang on Saturday as sides clash for a place in the Ellinbank and District football decider.

Neerim-Neerim South (seniors), Lang Lang (reserves), Ellinbank (under 18s) and Bunyip (under 16s) await the victors of the preliminary final contests.
It shapes as a big day for Trafalgar, who will have three teams vying for a home ground grand final.
Longwarry and Ellinbank also remain chances to have two sides playing off on that final day.
LONGWARRY and Trafalgar will clash for one last shot at a Neerim-Neerim South side that has so far taken all before it.
The Crows will enter in slightly stronger form, having pushed the Cats after making a fast start in last week's second semi at Catani.
The Bloods enter the contest following a real scrap in wintry conditions at Nyora on Sunday, with only a late surge helping them over Buln Buln in extra time.
FOLLOWING a straight sets exit from Longwarry, it will be Trafalgar and Ellinbank battling it out to take on top of the table Lang Lang in the reserves.
The Bloods have advanced from third, while Ellinbank have won through from fifth.
THE under 18s has been played out true to home and away form, with the top three sides still standing.
Second-placed Longwarry and third-placed Buln Buln meet for a chance against the currently undefeated ladder leader Ellinbank.
IT also comes down to the top three in the under 16s, although Trafalgar has taken a different path than they would have liked.
Having finished top of the table, the Bloods fell to a determined Bunyip side last week to force them to win through from a preliminary final.
While they will look for redemption, they first have to take care of a capable Poowong side that had finished third.
