This has every ingredient of becoming a great final. Both teams met twice in last year’s edition. They played a draw in the group stages and Maru beat them in the semi final in a very tough encounter.
Young Chiefs has a score to settle, while Maru would like to stamp their authority and show them that they are not Champions by mistake.
Both teams have very good players who can turn the game into their favour.It is going to be mouth-watering encounter which football fans cannot really wait for.
Maru will have the advantage of home support as the stadium will be packed to the rafters with local fans fully behind the defending champions, who played the game of their lives in the semis.
