Yarrawonga also came to the party, drawing with Tocumwal 2 at 2.5 points apiece.
Deniliquin was too hot for Finley, defeating them 3-2 and Cobram 2 had bragging rights over Cobram 1 with a 3.5-1.5 win.
Fortunately for Yarrawonga, its tied game saw Corowa walk away with the wooden spoon for the second year in a row by .5 of a match.
So, the last round ended up with the two Tocumwal teams with a draw and a loss left Finley sitting in fourth position by six points and two matches in front.
The finals will be played on Tocumwal on February 11 from 7am.
Deniliquin will play Cobram 2, and Cobram 1 will play Finley.
Please ensure that you are on time to start. Penalties will be applied for lateness, as Tocumwal have full fields on this day and have been kind enough to fit us in.
The second final will be played on February 18, with the venue to be confirmed.
All the best to all the teams in the finals.
