‘It means a lot to myself and the players to get to the final. Ahead of the game I’ll be telling the team to go out and get the business done.  I want to see sweat, no blood and tears of joy.’

Their opponents on the night, The Beehive BHP, were formed in 2016 and play their football in the Edmonton & District Sunday Football League where they are the current Division 2 holders.  They currently sit top of Division 1 and have lost just once this season. With many of their current squad having semi-pro experience, Manager, Steve Livermore is confident ahead of Wednesday’s final.

He said:

‘I’m thrilled to reach the final – I knew we could do it. It’s been great to watch the progression of the team since last season and I’ll be making sure that before the match they know that the opposition is beatable if we play to our best.’
