Congratulations to the following teams who won straight through to the grand finals:
A Grade: Neon Media (Scott Druett, Max Hofman, Bundy Maloney and Adam Tanner)
B Grade: Ray White (Zac Williams, Dean Cafe, Brett Hardy and Tim Maloney)
C Grade: Aldo’s Freight (Sandra Richens, Liz Boland and Jack Bush)
In A Grade, Neon Media’s grand final opponent was decided by the clash between Sports Power and Job Centre.
Both teams won two matches, however Job Centre won ten games to eight.
In the B Grade final Twoomeys overcame Rap Jam nine games to three, setting up a grand final against Ray White.
The C Grade final saw Eagle Boys play a very strong match against Aromas, ensuring Eagle Boys would play Aldos Freight in the grand final.
The A Grade grand final saw a highly competitive replay of the first semi final between Neon Media (NM) and Job Centre (with Geoff Palmer playing his third successive grand final for the year).
Such was the competitive nature of this match up, that three out of the four matches went the full distance of five games.
Neon Media ultimately won out ten games to nine.
B Grade was also a very close grand final, reflecting the level of competition throughout the double rounds.
Congratulations to Zac Williams of Ray White and Kerri Palmer of Twoomeys for their high quality and hard fought match.
In the end, Twoomeys (T) defeated Ray White by eight games to seven.
The highlight of the C Grade grand final was the match between Sandra Richens and Aiden Miller.
This was an extremely hard fought match played in a very competitive but fair spirit.
Sandra’s win helped get Aldo’s Freight (AF) over the line, defeating Eagle Boys seven games to five.
The full results for the grand finals are as below:
A Grade: Geoff Palmer def Scott Druett (NM) 3-2; Dean Kinlyside def Max Hofman (NM) 3-2; Bundy Maloney (NM) def Jimmy Robinson 3-2; Adam Tanner (NM) def Graeme Callaghan 3-1.
