The Londoners were the only side to go unbeaten from their eight games and showed their title credentials with a 4-2 win over OGs last weekend.

Southgate, Premier Division men’s debutants, pipped Holcombe to the indoor showpiece by one point, 47-year-old coach Kwan Browne unable to take bragging rights over his former club.

The Super 6s Finals will once again be staged at Derby Arena on Jan 26.
