P.S.N.I. manager jimmy Brown has named his squad for the final of the British Police Cup Final against Kent Police to be played at Dartford F.C. on Tuesday 15th. May K.O. 6pm
Some doubt still exists over the fitness of Rory Hamill and Andy McKnight. The P.S.N.I. were last in the final in 2008 when they lost by 2-0 to the Metropolitan Police. Seven members of the current squad played in that final. Kent last won the trophy in 1973 when they defeated the Liverpool Police 1-0. In order to win the P.S.N.I. will have to repeat the sort of display they produced against Strathclyde in the semi-final when Hamill scored twice in a 3-1 win against a very good Scottish team. The P.S.N.I. are already planning for next seasons World Police and Fire games which will be held in Belfast for the first time.
