Eagles Not Likely To
Cheyennes' Bid For Final Play-Off This Sunday
By OLLY VAS
Unless there is a complete reversal of form nothing can stop Robert Remedios' Cheyennes from qualifying for the play- off against the Pl Dodgers for the Junior league softball title.
This will take place two weeks hence, provided Yeo Jick-fai's Eagles do not pull off a sensational upset against the Cheyennes in what should turn out to be the highlight of the week's softball games.
The Cheyennes and Eagles clash on Sunday at 11.00 a.m. and the former enter into the fray full of confidence as they have already beaten the Eagles once before, by the con- vincing score of 12 runs to four.
Apart from this, the rest of Interest for anyone except the the programme holds little of players when
