The A1s have been hunting down Kiewa for fourth spot the last few weeks. After beating second placed Yarrawonga two weeks ago, bowlers thought job done only to find Kiewa had beaten top side Wodonga.
So last Tuesday Benalla played Wangaratta away and managed to sneak into the four with a 64-53 win, the winning rinks Sam Beaton 33-14 Peter Brock 20-18 and Trevor Exton 11-21.
Benalla now plays Wangaratta again at Corowa Civic in the first final.

The A3s played Mansfield at home going down narrowly 55-58 to the top team with Remo Ascenzo 21-11, Graeme Greene 21-21 and Ian Capp 13-26.
The B1s travelled to Moyhu and were dominated in a 29-94 loss, always a challenge on their carpet. The rinks were James Wood 10-28, Jeremy Boruch 8-30 and Bill Broderick 11-36.
