Old rivals in southern final Steve Davie - 11 December 2001
Albion and Green Island will meet in the Otago/Southland club knockout final in Dunedin this weekend. The match could well double as another trial for State Otago Volts coach Glenn Turner with no fewer than seven of the province's representative squads involved. Albion looks the slightly stronger combination with the McCullum brothers, Nathan and Brendon, in action alongside Evan Marshall and New Zealand Under-19 squad member Jordan Sheed. veteran, Kevin Galliven, who first played senior cricket in 1978, will lead the side. However, Green Island can also boast high profile players in the form of Chris Gaffaney, Craig Cumming and Bradley Scott. The vastly experienced former Otago wicket-keeper/batsman Shane Robinson is also named. A number of the Green Island players were involved when the club took back-to-back national titles in 1998/99 and 1999/00. The winner of Sunday's match, which will be played at the University Oval, will contest the national club championship in Auckland next Easter. The teams are: Albion: Kevin Galliven (captain), Jordan Sheed, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Paul Kennedy, Damian Petre, Brendon Hunt, Nathan King, Jonathan Homer, Paul Adams, Evan Marshall. Green Island: Hayden Finch (captain), Shane Robinson, Mike Hawken, Chris Gaffaney, Craig Cumming, Bradley Scott, Jeremy Scott, Ian Mandry, Jeff Simmonds, Andy Harris, Mark Joyce, Dion Lobb, Regan Finch. © CricInfo
