Salming Eastern Elite Series 2008

WinnersNorthern Beaches Stingrays

Summary:

What a final it has been to the first interstate series. Northern Beaches prevailed in a highly dramatic best-of-three win that needed to go the distance and then some! After losing the first game 3:6 and then hammering Beaches 7:1 in the second it certainly looked like the minor premiers Bondi would bring it home. In the final game however they surrended the lead 3 times in a 7all draw. With one win each and a draw it went straight to penalty shoot out, where Northern Beaches Stingrays made it count to secure the first Salming Elite Series trophy!

In the play off for third Glebe and SBT batteled it out with lots of awesome goals to admire. Glebe FBC however scored a few more to win in 2 games 8:6 and 12:7.

Congratulations to all the teams. It has certainly been a good tournament and a good start to this format. The aim for next season is to build this to an at least 8 team comp. In Dural we have the capacity of two courts and we should encourage teams from Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong and maybe a second Canberra team to join the comp.
