BSSC and CCB will play in semi-finals on Wednesday against Hallam Secondary College and Essendon-Keilor College respectively, with the winners of both matches to clash in the grand final next week.
BSSC has home ground advantage on Wednesday as it hosts Hallam from 12.30pm at the QEO.
CCB travels to Melbourne to play Essendon-Keilor at Craigieburn. Their clash is a replay of last year’s SSV Premier League grand final which Essendon-Keilor won narrowly.
