The under 10s, 12s, 13s, 14s and international league tag teams have all made it through.
Under 10s
THE under 10s are coming home with a wet sail after an up and down season.
They were runners-up in their division at Junee two weeks ago and convincingly beat Waratahs last week to make their way to the grand final.
Player profiles
Ethan McDonald (c) is dangerous in both attack and defence. Geoff Toovey like and punches well above his weight and will be leading the charge all day.
Vinnie Ward is an awkward customer for defences to handle, with a step which transends three European countries.
Cameron Miners is built like George Rose and ready to lumber up the field.
Huxley Coelli could be the key to this game. Capable of making valuable meters.
Riley Legge mixed six weeks of the competition but has come back in blistering form.
Curtis Ingram has rugby league in his blood and shows glimpses of his pedigree. Could be the quiet achiever that explodes in this game.
Cruz Wallace is the smallest boy on the paddock but makes up with it with heart and smarts. No fear and will take on Goliath.
Harry Hurst is evolving as the year goes on. Quiet demeanour but Bruce Banner does transform sometimes.
Ali G is as strong as an ox. When he understands the game in full he will be hard to contain.
Harrington Eurell talks to his team all day. Positions them. His defence has saved many a try.
Vula Wate Junior: Big, strong, fast. Enough said.
Ethan Lyons is a cleaver and crafty footballer. Has great potential and showmanship.
Under 12s

After finishing second in the regular season the Raiders will now come up against a strong Black and Whites team.
