This Saturday we have the final round of the season, the final four have been confirmed, and, in a neat twist of fate, we have 1v2 and 3v4.
Oxley Oval in Port Macquarie has two local rivals battling to better their ladder position.
Wauchope will need Nathan Lyon to keep the runs flowing to allow their bowling led by Aaron Hagenbach and Matt Day to apply pressure.
Captain Matt Miller is due, very due.
For Pirates, their line-up has been unsettled, but the prowess of Jared Humphreys and Connor Cook with bat and ball will be vital.
Tom Connolly with the bat could be their ace.
Adding veteran Paul Stait to their bowling has toughened them up. A game to go the way of one player's major performance.
Wayne Richards Oval in Port Macquarie will see a Rovers team that has shown it can compete with any team, playing a Macquarie team that will want to finish on a big win.
We may see a few young players get a taste of Premier League here.
Johnny Martin Oval will see a Nulla team desperate to win to have the opportunity of not having the dreaded wooden spoon.
Their opponents, Taree West have been there and about all season, without the consistency required.
