The Cup final was played between unlikely candidates for glory: neither team ever won anything before and if RoPS had strong season, KePS only struggled to stay in the top league. Given that, experienced RoPS was the likeliest winner and they did not disappoint, winning 2-0.
KePS Kemi, although losers, could only be proud of themselves – to reach the Cup final was their greatest ever success, beating their recent best – getting promoted to the Premier Division. Another club may have been disappointed, but the tiny club could only be proud: escaping relegation and playing at the Cup final: success is relative.
RoPS Rovaniemi was also proud – after so many years with no trophy, they won their first at last. Strong overall season, topped by winning the Cup for the first time. Instant heroes, a season to remember, new Cup winner in Finland.
