After a stellar season in both the under 14s and under 17s each team has qualified without a blemish to their name.
The Swifts under 14s got the ball rolling with a win over Harrow Balmoral.
Swifts won the game by 19 points and booked their spot in the grand final.
It was a low scoring game for both teams and finals football saw the results closer than they have been all year.
Elysia Musgrove Cooper was a stand out in the forward line with three goals, earning a place among the best players.
League best and fairest winner Jakob Salmi was another best player leading his side to victory.
Other players to impress were Seth Thomas, Lachlan Cox, Hayden Hamilton and Sam Chatfield.
In the under 14s competition Harrow-Balmoral and Kalkee will go head to head for the grand final spot.
The win on Saturday put the under 17s Baggies into the grand final and they will play the winner of the Noradjuha Quontong Bombers and Pimpinio Tigers clash tomorrow.
The under 17s have dominated this season and didn’t look likely of being upset when they took on Pimpinio in their first game of finals.
The Swifts came out the fresher of the two teams with the week off and it wasn’t long before the scoreboard reflected that.
Swifts kicked four unanswered goals in the opening term to lead by 25 points at the first break.
Regan Dunn-Rutter, Dejan Milosevic, Sam Raeck, Josh Davis, Caleb Holden and Tyler McHenry were all named in the best on ground and were the reason for their convincing victory.
Kyle Ryan did what he has done all year and that is finding the middle of the big sticks, kicking five goals.
From his 15 games this season Ryan has kicked 108 goals and has been a major factor in the Swifts success.
Noradjuha Quantong will take on Pimpinio in the under 17s preliminary final tomorrow.
The Bombers side survived a cut-throat final last week against Natimuk United.
In a 43-33 low-scoring game the Bombers held on to beat the Rams and survive another week.
But the Tigers will have some thinking to do after they went down to Swifts.
The 69-21 loss saw them struggle against the Baggies.
