They will find out who they will meet in the regional final on Thursday, when Armidale’s Ben Venue Public meets Nemingha Public in the other semi-final.
On Monday Tamworth batted first and put on a very competitive total of 4-114 from 25 overs.
Max Keft-Gill top scored with an excellent innings of 31, closely followed by Jack Dadd who put on 30 as the pair set more than half the total between them.
While a few early overs went for big scores Moree’s Kobie Rutledge stepped up with a great spell of tight bowling to tie and end up and finish with figures of 1-9 from five overs, while Jack Van Vegch took 2-26.
In reply Moree struggled to get the Tamworth bowlers away as Zac Walters and Dan McCormack took 2-1 and 2-2 respectively from three overs as the visitors finished at 9-43.
Tamworth will now face the winner of Thursday’s match in the next fortnight.
