Shane Devoy and John Rogers must be getting sick of seeing each other at the coin toss.
Devoy's Tuggeranong Valley met Rogers' Weston Creek Molonglo in the Regional Twenty20 Cup grand final in October and are currently halfway through their two-day Douglas Cup clash.
Now they are preparing to meet in the one-day Gallop Cup grand final after both sides registered comprehensive semi-final victories on Sunday.
AT A GLANCE
Cricket ACT Gallop Cup semi-finals: TUGGERANONG VALLEY 9/252 (Kila Pala 47, Shane Devoy 47; Sam Skelly 3/45, Michael Minns 2/42) bt WESTS-UC 107 (Nick Ada 34, Adam Hewitt 33; Benji Floros 3/15, Daniel Burgess 3/33); WESTON CREEK MOLONGLO 3/304 (John Rogers 144*, Mark Bennett 117; Luke Ryan 3/47) bt GINNINDERRA 280 (James Coate 69, Kiplin Doriga 46; Brad Izzard 3/31, Djali Bloomfield 2/43)
CANBERRA UNITED
Karly Roestbakken is still more than two years from her first legal drink but the Canberra United teen handed Melbourne City their first ever loss.
The cashed-up Melbourne club owned by an international sporting conglomerate was undefeated through their 18 games in the W-League and the two youngest players on the park – Roestbakken and Nickoletta Flannery – combined to bring them down.
CANBERRA CAVALRY
The Canberra Cavalry have suffered a series loss at the hands of the Melbourne Aces, dropping game three 7-2 as the Aces claimed a club record seventh straight win.
CANBERRA CAPITALS
Australian Opal point guard Leilani Mitchell and her Sydney Flames have ended the Canberra Capitals' three-game winning streak with a 84-73 win at Tuggeranong Stadium on Thursday night.
Canberra Capitals acting coach Reece Potter said they were too passive early and was frustrated the side was unable to lift for a big game.
CBR SPORT AWARDS
One tasted Olympic Games golden glory and the other suffered agonising medal heartbreak, but Kim Brennan and Patrick Mills have been recognised for their outstanding years with ACT sport awards.
The Olympics sparked something inside Mills - after watching on as a kid he would pretend to swim across the lounge room floor.
Now he is there, representing Australia is something special - born and bred in Canberra to a Torres Strait Islander father, Benny, and Aboriginal mother, Yvonne, he has never forgotten his roots.
