The 14 December 2012, will be the 3rd franchise final at the Bullring in a matter of 9 months.  That in itself must be a South African record for a Franchise. 

A good squad of men will line up on the 14th December 2012, to take on the winner of a mouth watering semi - final between the Cobras and the Titans.  Both squads will have all their Proteas available for selection.

The Lions initially began the opener of the Momentum Cup against our rivals, The Titans, with a empathic victory.  Much of the team spirit and "momentum", definitely came from our Champions League campaign.  Something which new captain, Stephen Cook wanted to continue.  "Momentum" is a huge factor in cricket and getting off to a good start and creating a string of victories can never be over rated.

A simple game plan has allowed the players to understand roles and be confident enough to execute skills when required.  Results have proved that we have been playing good cricket but if our first game has anything to go by, we definitely have more in the tank.  With our very own Proteas returning from a highly successful tour to Australia, confident, the level of skill and ability will definitely improve.  

From an injury and fitness point of view,  I am on track in providing the selectors with an entire squad for hungry players, who would love nothing more then providing their fans with a trophy.

Preparation for the final, begins on Monday and no stone will be left unturned, in our quest for that elusive trophy.
