Tallygaroopna staved off Seymour’s charge to book a spot in the second tier’s big dance and, just like their division one mates, the Redlegs will meet Shepparton Golf.
Seymour hooked a 2-2 split in the rinks against Tallygaroopna, but it wouldn’t be enough in the wash up.
The Redlegs were propped up by Bryan Daws’ rink’s 28-19 thumping in the first exchange, going on to reap a 14-91 to 4-88 win.
Rushworth scored a nine-shot victory over Mooroopna Golf to meet Seymour VRI in the division three grand final, while Euroa and Eildon will contest the division four decider following the latter’s 14-102 to 4-92 success over Alexandra.
Merrigum trumped Kyabram in the division five prelim, now meeting Colbinabbin in the final, while Euroa scored an 18-shot win over Mooroopna in division six to book a date with Yea on Saturday.
Lastly, Eildon will take on Mooroopna for division seven honours after seeing off Rushworth.
