Another year, another Gibson Cup final between North Enderby Timber and Turn-Key Controls.

So it goes in the North Okanagan Soccer League. The two longtime city rivals meet Wednesday, 7 p.m., under the lights at the Greater Vernon Athletic Park, for the third straight time.

The teams finished with identical records (15-1-2) and split the season series.

Turn-Key advanced to the final with a 3-1 victory over visiting Salmon Arm Courvas, while the Timber brushed off the upstart Peters Tirecraft 2-1 in the other semifinal Sunday night at MacDonald Park.

Tirecraft stunned the host Revelstoke Stallions 5-1 in playoff action Saturday for their first-ever postseason victory.
