Boomerangs play Glen Innes in first grade, Narwan in reserve grade and Tingha in under-18.
Unsurprisingly, Moree won the club championship after all three of their men’s teams won the minor premiership.
First-grade coach Chris Binge said nothing would be sweeter than to convert those minor premierships into grand final wins.
“We have put in a tremendous effort this season, both on and off the paddock,” he said.
“And while I believe we deserve to win Sunday due to all the effort the boys have put in since November last year, it won’t be just handed to us – we need to work hard this week and bring our best Sunday.”

Whilst the Boomerangs have had three teams contest grand finals previously, the most recent being in 2013, they have never been able to convert all three into premierships.
Club president Mitch Johnson said: “There is a good feeling around the club and the community at the moment and we have been building toward something special this season.
“I’m hoping this weekend we can take out all three and create another chapter in the history of our great club.”
There are many great stories around the club this year – from a number of father and sons getting the opportunity to play on the same team, to the five Porter brothers all playing in grand finals this weekend.
And then there is Bruce Smith, who is playing in his eighth grand final in a row, having won the past seven.
The action kicks off at 10am, with Inverell taking on Glen Innes in the ladies league tag. The first-grade clash is due to start at 2.30pm.
