One final round in the Murray Valley Cricket Association’s A-grade competition will be held tomorrow before the Christmas break.
The Deni Rhinos will travel to Barooga for the 45-over game.
Fifth-placed Barooga will be up and about after a two-wicket win against fourth-placed Katamatite last Saturday.
Barooga chased Katamatite’s 154 from 45 overs with four balls remaining.
This moved Barooga into fifth outright, two and a half wins behind Katamatite.
The Rhinos still sit in third following their nine-wicket win against the now seventh-placed Berrigan last weekend.
The last time Deni and Barooga met was in the opening game of the season.
In that match, at Deniliquin Memorial Park, the Rhinos won the toss and batted first.
For the Rhinos, Griegan French top scored with 90 with Boddie Arthur scoring 54 in a 142-run partnership, and Charlie Paton scored 57 not out as the Rhinos finished their innings 3/279.
Jono Oliver was the pick of the bowlers for Barooga ending with figures of 2/30 off his nine overs while Codi Bowden also took a wicket finishing 1/39 off seven overs.
In reply, Barooga were kept to 126 all out in the 35th over with Jono Oliver top-scoring with 32 runs.
Matt Taylor was the chief destroyer for the Rhinos with 3-18 off his nine overs, with Brodie Bennett, Rowan Frazer and Andrew Hogan all taking two wickets each, seeing the Rhinos win by 153 runs.
The Rhinos will be looking for a similar result tomorrow at Barooga.
Both teams have developed throughout the season, though, and there are likely to be some different players from their first match-up.
After the Christmas break, the MVCA A-grade competition is expected to return with three rounds of two-dayers.
These are scheduled to start Saturday, January 11.
A one-off T20 is also scheduled for Thursday, January 23.
