I'll probably be at the Final. But I hope to get to a few Saddleworth games along the way. Tough opener for us, drawing last years runners-up.

I was pleased to see Kells get drawn with Queens, it'll be good to catch up with a few old friends, all of which will no doubt be sporting a black eye by full time
