A four-wicket haul by Chris Holland and a half century to Ben Day helped Moree cruise to a nine wicket win over Peel Valley and they will now face off against Tamworth Blue in the semi final this weekend.
Day hit six fours and two sixes on his way to 64 off 41 deliveries, as Moree chased down Peel Valley's total of 126 in just 14 overs.
Batting first, Peel Valley weren't able to bat out the full innings, lasting 35.2 overs before they were bowled out, with Brett Douglas (36) and Sam Bowden (31) top scoring.

Holland (4-26) did the damage with the ball and was well backed up by Gareth Faulkner (3-12). Jack Montgomery (1-17), Wyatt Roberts (1-17) and Sam Brown (1-16) took the rest of the wickets for Moree.
The run chase never looked in danger, with Day and Mark Stewart (33 off 24) putting on 59 for the first wicket before Stewart was dismissed by Jason Strudwick (1-25).
Matt Lather then stepped in, knocking 22 off 18 to help guide Moree to a big win.
It marked Moree's third win of the season to go with one loss.
They beat Gunnedah by one wicket in a thriller in the opening round, and backed that up with a monster win over Quirindi, where Moree held their opponents to just 22 total runs in a 108-run victory.
Their only loss came to Narrabri in round three, where they went down by four wickets before finishing strong in Sunday's win.
As a result, Moree finished first in the Western Conference, beating out Gunnedah on percentage, and will now host Tamworth Blue this Sunday, who finished second in the Eastern Conference behind Gwydir.
