City coach Ben Varkalis squeezed out a chuckle when asked about it. ‘‘But finals are like that sometimes.’’A good core of last year’s group has returned, so City should be strong again. City opens its season against Kings United, while Momona will play the University Stingrays and the Taieri Tigers meet University Huskies. The Albany Alligators play the University Blue Whales, who could be a dark horse this season, in the other game.
