Mateship and club allegiances will go out the window when two Windang crews do battle in a historic South Pacific fours final today.
Dennis Skinner's side will face George Stewart's men at Towradgi, in the first decider pitting teams from the same club against each other in recent memory.
The showdown will end the resurgent club's 27-year South Pacific drought - their last title came in 1983 when Phil Bushby skipped a winning fours combination against another Windang team.
Both skips foreshadowed a fierce struggle for bragging rights.
"I want to look across and think about flogging them, I'll be friends with them before and after the game but not during it," Stewart said.
Skinner - who won the fours in 2007 at the same venue - admitted the talk would be as tough as the tussle when play begins.
"These guys have known each other for a lot of years, there will be a bit of sledging going on," he said.
Neither squad was rated a contender when the red-hot fours competition began - Skinner's side reached the final with a strong win over Geoff McGillivray's Warilla combination, while Stewart and Co held off Zoran Bosev's outfit yesterday.
Skinner - anchoring a hastily assembled team of Kevin Abrook, Mick Dihm and Trevor Gillis - was quick to claim the underdogs' tag.
"I wouldn't mind having the underdog tag," Skinner said.
"Never did we think it was going to turn out like this.
"We haven't played the most consistent bowls, but we have always got ourselves out of trouble.
"We're probably going to have to go up a gear to win it."
Stewart, who had lost five fours semi-finals before yesterday's breakthrough triumph, predicted an even contest.
"I think we're pretty comparable sides, it will come down to on the day," he said.
"My players all play perfect bowls in their position, it's a very good team.
"They've (Skinner's team) gone extraordinarily well."
Play begins at 1.30pm.
