The top two teams in the Under-12s, Rovers Morn Earthmoving and Nulla Hazelwood, and Under-14s, Rovers MVVS and South West Rocks, will advance to the grand final this Saturday.
The junior presentation will be held after the matches.
In the first grade matches, Rovers booked their place in the grand final after causing an upset against the minor premiers Nulla.
Rovers set a large score of 248 from their 50 overs as Jack Wakely (50), Jarrod Prosper (82) and Brett Williams (52 not out) combined to cause havoc and help their side reach 248.
Nulla's Troy Ward (50) and Adam Stutz (68) led the chase but only one other teammate reached double figures with the bat as they fell for 171.
The 71-run victory will see the two-time defending champions Rovers advance to the grand final which will be played in a fortnights time.
Meanwhile in the other match, Stuarts Point/Eungai shocked South West Rocks to eliminate them from the competition.
Stuarts Point/Eungai entered the match with only three wins this season but they didn't lie down as they came out swinging with the bat.
Hayden Williams (44), Nick Paven (31), Connor Gainge (23) and Leslie Page (21) combined to help Stuarts Point/Eungai post a total of 165.
Dylan Mann (20), Ryan Dare (27) and Liam Askew (18) put up a fight for South West Rocks but ultimately they were dismissed for 131.
Page (3/43), Ramanjit Singh (2/19) and Williams (2/16) led the way with the ball in hand to secure the 34-run victory.
Nulla will now face Stuarts Point/Eungai in a preliminary final this Saturday.
Macleay Valley Cricket Association president Ben Paix was glad cricket was played on the weekend.
"There was a fair bit of rain over the weekend so to be able to get some games played and give the players a chance to play finals cricket was great," Paix said.
