Local rivals Pearcedale and Devon Meadows will face off in a highly anticipated elimination today.

Devon Meadows makes its first finals appearance in 21 years, while Pearcedale the first in over a decade.

The Panthers and Dales share the same 11 win and seven loss record in 2022, but the Panthers are the home side with a stronger percentage.

The game is played at the neutral venue that is Chelsea Recreation Reserve and will commence at 2:30PM.

So here are the two sides as listed for the big final:

DEVON MEADOWS:

Brady O’Toole, Brodie White, Joel Hillis, Liam Drew, Justin Kiss, Jamie Plumridge, Stefan Baumgartner, Daniel Hellyer, Nick Battle, Rhys Thorpe, Brandon White, Rory Hiillis, Joshua Stewart, Hayden Murphy, Nathan Drew, Patrick Boland, Wayne Groves, Ryan Koo, Alex Canal, Brayden Haynes, Hamish McLeod, Brodie McConnell.
