After months of fierce competition, it all comes down to one last dance under the spring skies at Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch.
Canterbury earned their place in the decider after a commanding semifinal win over Hawke’s Bay, while Otago booked their ticket to the big dance with a convincing victory against Bay of Plenty in Dunedin.
It’s a battle between two sides who know each other well — the red-and-black machine chasing another chapter in their storied legacy, and the blue and golds hungry to lift the trophy for the first time in over two decades.
