Already with a win, Conquerors will be led by Jomo Hinds who led his side to victory while New Amsterdam, will be hard pressed to get past the city side but are a confident unit which will bank of the experience of Adrian ‘Garnett’ Adams, his younger sibling Leonardo ‘Power’ Adams who just returned from Suriname with the Mayor’s Cup All Stars.

The match-up will be interesting with the Army confident of a repeat and will be throwing all the weapons they have at the Campbellville boys who also have some good artillery of their own. Who can use what they possess best on the night will walk away with full points. Camptown are ahead on points 16 to GDF’s 13.
