By OLLY VAS
There is meagre fare in store for softball fans at King's Park this week- end as only three matches are down fur decision, with the spotlight falling on one of the semi-final games in the Knock-Out Tournament in which the Stardusts will take the field against the Indians.

LEICESTER, SHEFFIELD U. DRAW AGAIN
Nottingham, Mar. 28.
Leicester City and Sheffield United who played a goalless draw in their semi-final of the FA Cup last Saturday, again failed to score in the replay here Apday.
The teams have now played 210 minutes without a goal, and Tottenham Hotspur have a further wait to see who will oppose them in the final at Wembley on May 8.
Play today fell below the standard expected, and both sides missed easy chances. No miss was more alaring than that of Jimmy Walsh, Leicester's captain, who headed over the bar from only two yards out.
Goalkeepers Banks and Hodgkinson made a number of brilliant sayes in the extra-time when the game livened up considerably.
The second replay will take place at Birmingham on Monday.-Reuter.
