The finals kick off at Wagga's Equex Centre this Saturday, followed by the Preliminary Finals in Coota the following week and the grand finals at Young on Saturday August 17.
Having finished the regular season as minor premiers, the Bulldogs under 11s and under 13s boys can take the direct passage into the decider with victory on Saturday, while the under 14s can also book a place in the big dance after ending the year in second.
Under 11s and under 13s boys can take the direct passage
- Cootamundra Bulldogs
Undefeated all season, the under 11s will play arch rivals Young in the major semi, while the 13s will face off against Junee and the 14s also tackle Young.
With a second bite of the cherry if they were to lose, the 11s would then play the winner of the minor semi final between Turvey Park and Brothers, the 13s would face either Brothers or Young and the 14s either Temora or Brothers.
The remaining four sides face sudden death in Wagga, but will no doubt have plenty of support from what is always a strong Bulldogs fan base.
Having finished third, under 10s face Junee in the elimination final for the right to play either Young or Brothers the following week, while the fourth placed under 12s will be hoping to get over Junee for the chance to meet either Brothers or Temora.
The girls will also be represented in the finals action with both the 12s and 16s leaguetag sides finishing in the top four.
The under 14s will be ruing a couple of costly late season losses after missing the cut by a single point.
Junee are the 12s opponents in the elimination final, with Brothers and Young finishing one and two, while the 16s take on Junee for the chance to advance to a home final against either Young or Temora.
