Swamp will now take on reigning premiers Colts in this Saturday’s preliminary final after Colts rounded up Rugby League by 10 wickets.
Uralla reached 6-246 in their 40 overs, with prolific run-scorer Cameron Wood belting four sixes and three fours on his way to 49, laying a great foundation.
Jay Grills clobbered eight fours and two sixes before he was bowled by Luke Wellings for 90, while wicketkeeper Nathan Swann scored 34.
Opening bowler Lee Harrison finished with 2-52, while Wellings claimed 2-64.
Swamp fell 30 runs short, despite Lachie Fletcher’s plucky 63 not out and veteran Barry Hoy contributing 59.
Sam Townsend, Ryan Walker and Brendan Miller all snared two wickets each.
In the other match, Colts needed just 16 overs to pass Rugby League’s total of 91.
