A thrilling final should be wit-

The Club "A" will encounter stiffer opposition in their path to the Pinal, as they have two very good sides in the 8th Destroyer Flotilla and the Bank to overcome before they enter the Final. The Borderers, on the other hand, should receive only one serious challenge- that of the Hermes "A" and will con retain the title they won from the I favour the Club to the big game.
