North Geelong won its way through to the Geelong Cricket Association women’s A Grade grand final and will play East Belmont on Sunday 8 March.
With rain interrupting play in the semi-final against Geelong City, the Magpies were set a modified target of 98 from 24 overs after City made 5/125.
North Geelong reached the target from the second ball of the 21st over.
East Belmont was too strong for Barwon Heads in the other semi-final and it promises to be a huge match to decide the premiership at South Barwon’s Lawn Addicts Oval.
