Kingston Crows at 11am Monday in the first semi-final at NTCA No.1, with Forest Stanley and Wellington playing off in the second semi next door. 

The final will be played at 3pm at NTCA No.1, with a $5000 cash prize up for grabs.  

"All the guys are really excited to have a crack," Lions skipper Alistair Taylor said. 

"Any time you get a chance to play in a finals series [it's huge] - especially a statewide competition where you’ve had to play teams you don’t usually play against.

"Sometimes they’re harder to win than some NTCA games when you see the players so often, so it would mean the world to the club.

"It’s never easy to get everyone available but our boys have been really good at that so it would be a great reward for effort."
