"We have lost out two years straight in the final and so we want to ensure that we win this final,' said Dennis. "I think that both teams are equal and both teams are strong and so on the day, it will be who wants it more and who takes the opportunity that will win it."
On the other hand, technical director of Cavalier Rudolph Speid, said he is looking forward to a very intriguing contest.
