SOUTH Africa’s number one referee, Andre Watson, will officiate in Saturday’s Bankfin-Currie Cup final between the Natal Sharks and the Lions at The Stadium Kings Park in Durban. Tappe Henning and Carl Spannenberg will act as touch judges with Michael Katzenellenbogen appointed as the fourth official. The match will be the fourth Bankfin-Currie Cup Final between the Sharks and the Lions in the 1990’s. In 1992, Natal won 14-13 at Ellis Park. The Lions (then Transvaal) turned the tables in 1993 when they won 21-15 in Durban. The two teams met again in the 1996 final in Johannesburg with Natal running out winners by 33 points to 15.
