The Redbacks (9-2) have a significantly better record in the home and away season than Numurkah (5-6), yet both sides managed to beat top-seed Tatura throughout the finals to punch their tickets.
The sides faced off twice throughout the season with Kyabram winning both games convincingly, 9-4 in round two and 8-5 in round 13.

The sides also met three times in the season, with the Twisters taking a dominant victory in round four, yet, the Bombers managed to get one over them, winning 57 games to 51 in a 4-5 set finish, while Tatura set a nasty precedent in the first semi-final dominating 8-1 once more.

With this in mind, it appears like Kyabram will have something to prove at the big dance, but the head-to-head indicates a close battle.
Division four best-and-fairest Rebekah Lawson and runner-up Scott Hausler will be leading from the front with the likes of Evan Cooknell, Anthony Li and Michael Argaet looking to put their best foot forward.
