The Louis Borg Cup will see the participation of two teams from Division One when the preliminary round gets underway today. Besides all five national league teams, Floriana and Qormi, from the lower category, were also in the hat for the first draw.

Their venture in this competition is not expected to be a long one when taking into consideration the difference in class between the two divisions. However, the fact that Floriana and Qormi opted to take their chances is already a positive sign in the local game.

Floriana's task is a difficult one when they face the in-form Hamrun in a two-legged round between today and tomorrow. Qormi's job looks equally hard... they were drawn against champions Pembroke Tumas Group.

The other clash of the weekend is between Kinnie League leaders Fiat Luxol and play-off hopefuls Stingers. These two sides have already met twice this season, Luxol running out winners on both occasions in the Shield and league.

Players of the Month (October): Dorianne Galea (Depiro); Nathan Farrugia (Siggiewi).

BOV KO SFs: (January 15) 6.15 p.m. Pembroke vs Siggiewi; 7.45 p.m. Hamrun vs Luxol.
