Court cases, new gymansiums, alcoholics annonymous have been thrown at the two teams in question, but nothing will stop Castlgate defending their title as Glasugate champions against old firm rivals, Glasubalti!
The date has been set for the first leg to take place on the 27th March. Only 50% of tickets remain open to the public, giving the total attendance to date as being 13, 347. WE spoke to Glasubalti skiper, Andy McLike, all he had to say to us was that, they are ready! "We've been through a tough time recently, Matt Plan leaving us, me being in court. I believe its brought us closer together as a unit, and i think the First leg couldnt have been set at a better time!"
Strong words from the flying scotsman. It was very different last year, Castlegate were by far the strongest team throughout both legs, taking a deserved victory. We spoke to Paulinho about this seasons squad compared to last, which is stronger, will they be succesfull again? he said "Yes, this seasons team is stronger, recent results have shown this, we are bonding well, two recent wins, and a good start to the new campaign. However, recent injuries have halted our plans for the cups first leg. Crinnion is out, through a hamstring injury, and Karl Karlsson is out on compassionate leave.
We still have a strong squad however, we still believe we can do it!"
Again fighting words, Balti without Plan, CFC without Gardony and Coatacini. Will be a great two games, but who will come out on top this year?
