The opposition is Maroochydore, who received the prize last season after weather and Covid lockouts. The Swans earned the honours after pocketing the T20 and One-Day trophies plus the minor premiership, and have already backed up the OD crown. They host the decider at Kev Hackney Oval. History would favour the Snakes, with the goodies in five of their previous six confrontations, but this time they approach the goal from fourth position, and only once this century has a side won from fourth, and that was Maroochydore in 2008, aptly over the Snakes. The first footsteps on the field dismiss any influence of history though, and the three day battle, hopefully without interruption, depends purely on the present. ....
The Rangers again face Caboolture, who ended their hopes last season and now occupy an unfamiliar fourth position, but undaunted territory after 14 titles in 22 years. This time a draw will not be enough to progress to the big game, so the Snakes must consider time as an extra factor in their plans.

Taylor shares the new ball with the top-shelf Steve Heise, and the off-pace variety of Heath Fischer and Joel Owen completes the depth of the attack. Tim Taylor, Ricky Sawyer and match-winner Dan Cahill follow their elders to complete the strong top five batting. ....
Each meets bottom-four sides in the final two rounds, meaning any points difference from this clash could be hard to mend. Maroochydore has displayed marked improvement in its batting aggression of late, after early season dependence on a dominant bowling squad. Callum Stitt and Zak Willox join skipper Blaine Schloss in the top ten 2-day run-getters, and each displays a different approach to his craft, a healthy attribute in any team, though the rest of the order lag well behind. Maroochydore s Blaine Schloss. Picture: Patrick Woods Dan Cahill plays a huge role in the Rangers’ batting outcomes, and has Jeremy Schultz plus Liam Moffett as experienced back-up. ....
