ELMORE gets its shot at back-to-back premierships when it hosts Dingee in Saturday's Northern United Cricket Association grand final.
The Redbacks snapped a 22-year premiership drought last year and have backed it up with another strong season.
Elmore finished on top of the ladder before beating Colbinabbin in last Saturday's qualifying final.
Redbacks' skipper Matt Gilmour has had another superb season with the bat, winning the competition's batting aggregate with 228 at an average of 45.6.
Dingee is into the grand final in what is a season in which the club re-formed after a year off.
The Blowflies won two knockout finals against Calivil and Colbinabbin last weekend to earn their crack at the flag against Elmore.
Elmore has won both clashes with Dingee this season.
Saturday's grand final at Elmore starts at 1pm.
