FINALS!

Men’s grand final saw the favourites Bulls take on Bruce Rock. As expected the match was a physical one with the men going all in to fight for the ball. Bulls seemed to be the smarter ones enabling their shots to convert on the score board to be leading at half time, 9 to 5. This only fired Bruce Rock up more with Gav Brownley coming out firing with a few 3 pointers. Unfortunately Bulls were unable to keep the momentum going and Bruce Rock took over winning 24 to 19.
