The power-batting Warriors will enter the match as firm favourites to become the first team to qualify for the grand final, but the Warriors only two losses this season have been to the Saints.

Saints pitcher Tessa McGlynn, and catcher Kadison Hofert, need to be right on their game to restrict the free-scoring Warriors side.

The Saints have smart infielders in Desi Calder, Paula Potts and Rochelle Harley, and outfielders Gemma McGlynn and Jess Wild regularly snap up the catches.

The Warriors will be capably led by pitcher, Montana Kearnes, who also a key figure in the batting department.

Layhnee Kearnes, Sam O'Neill and Kimberley Dennis can be relied upon for outfield hits, while the consistent batting of Jess Swaysland, Kristy Dennis and Carmel Hutchinson should take them in to yet another grand final.

In the minor semi-final, Turvey Park Reds and the young Turvey Park Blues will look to keep their season alive.

Performances over the whole season would suggest that the more experienced Reds will win this one, but form of the last two weeks has the Blues ahead on points.

The Blues have had impressive wins over the Reds and the Saints at last two starts, whilst the Reds have gone down to the Blues and the Warriors in the same period.

The Reds will hope to have pitcher, Montana Duncan, available, whilst Amanda Lenon and Sarah Carter should also be back in the lineup.

Batting should decide who will win this game. The Reds will look to Lenon, Carter, Kate Looney, Jade Olsen and Anneke Piercy to show the way in offence, whilst the Blues will count on lead batter Charli Hall, Nerida Bates, Amanda Gooden and Jess Wendt to find the gaps in the field.

The Blues' success of the last two rounds has been due to their fine fielding with outfielders Leila Wadley and Jess Wendt outstanding and short stop, Charli Hall, in grand form..

Meanwhile, seven Wagga juniors have been selected in NSW Country teams to compete at the Blacktown Junior International Challenge on March 21.
