It's a bit of a cricket cliche, catches win matches, but it is one that was certainly a defining factor as Grenfell Blue crushed Valley's at Lawson Park in a replay of last year's semi final.

Captain Shaun Logan won the toss and chose to bat.
Grenfell were making it hard work with opener Charlie Mitton seeing a lot of batting partners.
After 16 overs Grenfell were 5/76 with one lone top order still in, the tail was going to have to wag.
Harrison Starr joined Charlie at the crease and the boys put on a 57 run partnership.
Charlie brought up his 50 as well as the team's 100 in one shot.
Harrison continued on with Luke and Fletcher in support.
Harrison was finally caught on the last ball of the innings for 70 with he and Harrison making the most of the opportunities gifted to them by Valleys as they guided their side to an imposing 8-177 off their allotted 36 overs.
Charlie was dropped on three occasions as he made his way to 54.
His half century came off just 69 deliveries, a run rate bettered by Harrison who scored at nearly a run a ball hitting his 70 off 73 deliveries.
In reply Valleys were never in the match despite the lightning fast outfield, losing their first wicket, that of Angus McFarland, before the scoreboard attendant was called upon.
From there it was a very fast downhill slide for the visiting team as they were bundled out for just 31 runs.
Luke Murphy (14) and Henry Mitton (10) were the only other Grenfell batsmen to reach double figures, emphasising the cost to Valleys of their poor fielding.
Luke also played a major role with the ball in hand, opening the bowling with Harrison, the two swiftly sending the Valley's top order back to the shade before Ben Mitton cleaned up the middle order and the tail taking 5-8 off just 3.4 overs.
Luke finished the match with the figures of 2-3 while Harrison took 2-14 off four overs.
Henry Mitton took the other Valleys wicket, returning 1-4 off four overs.
Stanley Rush stood out for the Valley's bowling attack, taking 3-15 off seven overs. Connor Lamond picked up 2-52 off eight overs, which wasn't a reflection of how well he bowled.
Bevan Foxall was the only Valleys batsman to show any resistance, holding on for 28 balls before he was dismissed for 15.
Four Valley's batsmen were out for ducks, with Kane Schofield, Angus McFarland, Lewis McFarland and Stanley Rush all dismissed without scoring.
Grenfell Blue progress to the grand final of the B grade competition courtesy of the win while Valleys will regroup to take on Bowling Club next Saturday in the match to decide the other grand finalist.
Bowling Club defeated Morongla at Twigg on Saturday in the competition's elimination semi final.
