Schenck, who is vying for his 29th title, secured his spot in the championship match against Croft after defeating Gary McArdle in the semi-finals with a dominant display where he knocked up seven 30 plus breaks- including a season high 98.
Croft won his semi-final clash over Adam Hargreaves in a dour struggle to lock in his first Bendigo Championship final appearance.
Despite being his first time in the grand final, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge contesting big matches after many years of competing at the highest level in Melbourne.
Come match time on Wednesday night at the Golden Square Working Mens Club - it could be anyone's title for the taking.
