BIRCHIP-Watchem and Charlton will lock horns on Saturday for the right to meet Sea Lake Nandaly in the North Central league grand final next week.
The Bulls and Navies will clash in the preliminary final at Boort from 2.30pm.
The Bulls are striving to make their third-consecutive grand final and keep alive their hopes of winning their first flag since 2001 in what's the NCFL's longest current premiership drought.
The Bulls have beaten the Navies - fresh from a week off - in all three of their home and away meetings, although there was only three points the difference in their last clash in round 15.
