A tantalising top-of-the-table clash today will determine who finishes top after the round robin.
The St Clair Saints currently sit top of the ladder and will play the second-placed Dunedin Golf Club at Chisholm Links today.
It has been an extraordinarily tight season, and both leading teams actually have 16 points from five wins and a draw from their seven games.
The Saints hold the tiebreaker with the slimmest 0.5 game difference.
Whoever wins today will take home advantage into the finals, where they will play the Otago B52s (four points), while the loser will have to play the defending champion Bombers (13 points).
St Clair will look to their strong top order to pave the way at Chisholm Links.
Parker Aluesi knows his way around most courses at No 1, Tony Giles is a steady hand at No 2, and Connor Howes is a rising star at No 3.
Cam Botting, Albert Reed and Logan Clarke hold together the lower order for the Saints.
St Clair are hoping to erase the disappointment of the 2025 season, when they were unbeaten before falling to the Bombers in the final.
Dunedin GC will look to the seasoned Blair Liffiton and the rising Kai Koni to make hay at No 1 and No 2 respectively.
John McIntee, Jason Pegler, club operations manager Mackenzie Gibson and Mike Weastell round out the order for the home side.
The senior B pennant final is between Otago Gold and Otago Blue today, while the intermediate competition is at the semifinals stage.
The Otago Comets beat the Otago Fireballs in the women’s final earlier this month.
