Looks as if it will be a tough game. AoP have a euthsiasm advantage going into the game, but cup games on the road are always a battle. The strength of AoP will likely be too much in the end for the keiths.
63 Browncoats vs 47 Undertow, 70 Winnepeg Thunder vs. 74 Slamma Jamma, 75 Saint John Tigers vs. 16 Serenity Now!
These are all other games to keep an eye on this week. Best of look to everyone.
