The lads of third division Southport ‘D’ team (average age 14) will play first division Formby Holy Trinity ‘C’ (average age somewhat more than 14 
) in the final of the Gunson Plate handicap on Tuesday 24th March at St Teresa’s.
In the semi-finals, the juniors beat a strong Formby HT ‘E’ by just 4 points, after allowing for Formby’s 60 point advantage, whilst Formby HT ‘C’ easily overcame a 140-point handicap to beat Southport ‘C’ by 31 points.
We have now learned that the juniors will start with a 180-point advantage so perhaps the balance has swung in their favour, but it’s still going to be a close match with youthful exuberance pitted against guile and experience.
Don’t miss it – tonight at St Teresa’s CMS Club.
