Last night the Southern Cross Gringos (that's us!) give a huge middle finger in return. After finishing a disappointing 3rd place in the league games we systematically moved through finals series losing once and winning three times to claim the major prize. The team we faced in the Grand Final (Dropped from Div 3 - these administrators are weird) were undefeated, often winning matches by more than 8 frames (that's a lot).
We turned the tables on them though; in a race to 13 we were leading 11-4, and then 12-5. A mid-order collapse that would make the English cricket team proud gave the opposition (known as the Defenstrators) a glimpse of victory as they were as close as 12 -10, before we clinched victory.
Not only do I get a trophy for the victory, but we earn a place back in Div 4, and we get to play in the 'Champion or Champions' tournament - a handicapped knockout tournament in which the winners of each division play off against each other.
