Defending champs Dogs from Mount Pearl and the Swilers will bang heads today in the final of the Goodyear Cup St. John’s senior A rugby championship 4 p.m. at the Swilers RFC in St. John’s.
The Dogs enter the game as slight favourites after ending the Swilers’ 14-year domination of the Goodyear Cup last season with their first-ever senior A championship win.
Earlier this season, the Dogs won the Collins Cup in summer league play, and the Swilers won the B league Sully Cup.
