Bullet Match keys: This is the season finale for both teams.

"For us, the key is to not take them lightly. They have the best personnel they have ever had," said Tenzing ... The Sea Warriors have found the back of the net consistently this season. Kane knows he has players who can finish, but a key will be to create scoring opportunities. "We've got to stop what they do. They have a lot of speed up the sides and we have to neutralize that," Kane said.
