Expect surprises in the APL knock-out cup
With catches being so poor currently, the outcome of these encounters may just produce surprising results.

Ladysmith AC will do battle against Challengers while Breakwaters will be up against Dannhauser Angling Club with the winners progressing to the finals. Both competing clubs will be fishing in the same zone determined by a draw taking place on the morning of the competition.
