Shirley Boys’ High School combination, which is without the services of Grant Kiesanowski, Philip Laughton,
and lan Curd. The team will be ably compensated by Marcus Hack, Paul Wilson and Jonathan Rico, who will be joining his brother Jason, and Nick Gibson. Other teams which could cause an upset are Cashmere
