I suppose you have read Laurence's report already so I will keep this
brief...
A very high standard of play in this years finals, even the bottom
placed team (Alien Nation) proving to be no push overs. The group
games went with the seedings apart from Picnic suffering from a loss
of form. Avoiding unneccessary crossover games meant more play on the
huge 35m pitch as things began to get interesting. The mighty Skunks
and Catch powered their way through the Q/F's but there were close
games between Fingers and Sneeeky's, Jesters and Bears, Disciples and
Jedi with all the formers losing to the latters in sudden death caps
(all 8-9). Special mention to Jedi's Bruce for an outstanding over
head World's for a score! Picnic produced some of their best play of the day
in the cap against Phat Ed's but it was too little to late.
Sunday's play produced longer caps as the games became tighter,
Sorcerers unlucky against Ow! in their bid for the top 6, losing on
the last point. In the Plate semi's Phat Ed's cruised past Skunks II
and Sneeekys traded points with Jedi until geting two ahead before
the cap and managing to keep their lead. (All this despite my attempts
to prevent the Sneeeks from sleeping.) Mowhawks succumbed to Skunks 10 - 6
and Bears were firmly removed by Catch 16 - 4 in the championship semi's.
The play offs for final postions were entertaing games (all 22 mins +
cap!) Fingers having to battle to finally beat Alien Nation, Leeds
beat Southampton for the first time in the day (but only after sudden
death), Jesters just losing out to Ow! 8-9 for 5th place.
In the Plate final Sneeekys made Phat Ed's work hard for their prize,
taking it 11 - 9. The final itself was intensely competed, all calls
being discussed intelligently before resuming play. Catch managed a
4 - 0 lead before Skunks came back, Bob Himms and Sonic dueling like
flying aces. However in the end Bob was the Biggles, awarded MVP by
an independant judge, as Catch took it 11 - 6.
