St Henries vs St Michaels - Tip Off - Finals
The finals were battled by last years finalists who were St Michaels of Batticola and St Henries. It proved to be a very competitive game with the younger St Henries team taking an early lead in the first half by an effective 12 points.
Thats what you call a 'box out'
Sayson on the offensive
Half time
Swoosh...Three
To St Henries disappointment however, the experience and wiliness of St Michaels made itself apparent in the second half as they clawed back to an equal footing. The second half saw a more challenging game where the spectators were kept on their toes with every movement of the ball.
Defence...Defence...
Scores were tied several times during the second half with St Michaels ocassionally taking the lead. With a three point difference, the final whistle saw the veterans St Michaels, Champions of last years Finals, rejoice yet again. Altogether it was a fun day out, enjoyed by all.
St Henries - Jaffna - Runners up
St Michaels - Batticola - Winners
