Additionally AHL Kissoon has donated a 3-piece suite for the top scorer, while Ricks and Sari will give 10 hampers each to the winning and runner up teams.
The action on Sunday opens with Kitty versus Lima Dam at 2:00pm, followed at approximately half an hour intervals, by Uitvlugt against Haslington, Victoria battle Pouderoyen and Den Amstel oppose Mahaica. The respective winners will clash in the semifinals from 4:00pm, while the third place playoff is set for 5:00pm and the grand finale is at 5:30pm.
