Lions name Cup Final squad

The Victory Cup Final BARLA Great Britain Lions v Russia Thursday 20th May 2004 Big Sport Arena, Luzhniky, Moscow Kick Off: 6.00pm (local time)

BARLA Lions Manager Neil Baxter has announced the squad for tomorrow's Victory Cup Final.

Captain Tommy Goulden and BARLA Player of the Year Terry Lynn both face late fitness tests, but the Lions Management are hopeful that the duo will be fit to play.

If the Lions could lift the Victory Cup, it would complete an historic treble as they already hold the "Perpetual Trophy", played for against the Australian Aboriginals and last won in 2002, and the Emerging Nations World Championship, which they won back in 2000.
