The pair have won the trophy five timesapiece, as well as monopolizing German Soccer competition for years, andSaturday's winner will become the most successful team in the competition'shistory. Since the competition return in2010, both sides have won twice. Priorto 1996, when the competition was furloughed for fourteen years, each team hadwon three times.

India, who lead thethree-match series 1-0, need a win to clinch the series. The hosts need atleast a draw to keep their hopes alive.

Australia: Week 20 of the Australian Rules FootballSeason: Greater Western Sydney Giants vs. Melbourne Demons. Saturdays top match in the 20th weekend of Aussie Rules Footy, at least where thestandings are concerned, seems to be The greater Melbourne Demons at the WesternSydney Giants. The two will meet in the UNSW Canberra Oval (aka the ManukaOval) for an exciting match this afternoon. Currently the Giants are 3rd and the Demons 7th in the standings. TheGiants, who last met the Demons last season, found a way to get past Fremantle last weekfor their first win since round 14 and while they weren't exactly convincing,it was a valuable four points. They'll need to find even more momentum to getpast Melbourne, a side coming off a disappointing loss to 17th-ranked NorthMelbourne in Tasmania. The Giants have won seven of the last eight games theyhave played at the UNSW Oval, and three of their last five games withMelbourne. The Demons, though, are aheadin their lifetime series five games to four. Fans are in for a treat, and with so much on the line in terms of ladderpositioning, it's one of the most important matches of the season. -- Posted By Rex to SR at 8/05/2017 12:07:00 AM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
