Collie will have the advantage of a home ground grand final next weekend after the year 9 junior cricket side had a good win over Colts.
Collie played host to Colts at Roche Park for its semi final game, winning the toss and choosing to bat.
Zak Reuben and Robbie Chitty opened the batting for Collie and got the team off to a solid start with a 29-run partnership before Reuben was first out for 9.
Adam Worlley joined Chitty and the pair batted well together. Good running between the wickets and good shots played around the ground saw a 94-run partnership form.
Worlley was the first to bring up his 50 and retired with the score 1/123, then Chitty brought up his first ever 50 soon after and retired with the score 1/132.
Max Ireland and Josh Elliott came together and added another 24 runs before Ireland was out for 11 and the score at 2/156.
Blayden Coverley went into bat with Elliott for the final couple of overs and the pair both finished not out, Elliott on 15 and Coverley 7. Collie finished its innings at 2/166 from 35 overs.
Jackson Broadbent and Judd Rinder opened the bowling against Colts and it didn't take long for Broadbent to get the first wicket, caught by keeper Max Ireland for the score to be 1/0.
A few overs later Rinder picked up two wickets in two balls, one bowled and one LBW, to have Colts at 3/14.
Rinder missed out on the hat-trick and finished with 2/16 from four overs.
Broadbent picked up another wicket, caught by Josh Elliott and the score was 4/19, with Broadbent bowling 2/13.
Liam Wilson and Josh Elliott bowled next as Colts got a partnership going before Wilson picked up a wicket to have the score 5/46.
Wilson bowled two overs for 1/15 and Elliott three overs at 0/17.
First year player Jack Williams picked up the next wicket, caught by Blake Rees, at 6/53 and finished two overs for 1/10. Young star Heidi Ireland, who has done such a fantastic job all season, bowled two overs for 0/14.
The seventh wicket fell with the score on 92, thanks to a run out by Max Ireland and finished by Josh Elliott with the gloves.
Zak Reuben bowled well without luck with four overs at 0/8, then Adam Worlley, 2/1, picked up two quick wickets, both bowled, to have Colts at 9/96. Robbie Chitty then finished the game with a wicket bowled for 1/2 to have Colts all out for 98 in 24.4 overs, giving Collie the win by 68 runs.
