@ grootblousmile:
@ Lion4ever:

So true Gentlemen, Lions can hold their heads very high indeed.
Fought hard, right to the bitter end.
Easily held the advantage in possession and territory.

Crusaders worthy champions as well. Canes and Lions probably the next two best Teams in the Competition and Crusaders comprehensively defeated both.

Well,…………………….. for the rest of us ……………………………there is always next year.
