Harden’s Chris Salway and Sam Davis prepare to celebrate after Salway seals the match for the Hawks this afternoon.
The Harden Youth League side will be joined by Ladies League Tag side, the Hawkettes and The Hawks First Grade side, after both teams won their matches this afternoon at McLean Oval.
The Hawkettes proved too strong for their Crookwell opponents running out winners 26-0.
They will now face the Bungendore Tigerettes in a re-match of the 2016 Grand Final where Harden ran out winners at McLean Oval.
The Hawks made sure they made it through to the Grand Final with Lock Chris Salway having a huge game for the men in maroon and white. Salway scored the final try for the Hawks from close range after a barnstorming game where the opposition struggled to contain him.
Nathan Close leaves a Bear in his wake to score under the post.
