SCORPIONS MIX TOO STRONG FOR METS |
| The Mixed open final was a close tussle, which saw the Sydney Scorpions too strong for the Sydney Mets. In an entertaining game the final scoreline favoured the Scorpions 7-5. The Scorpions who were third last year, were the form team at the tournament. With early favourite Cobras beaten in the quarter finals, the Scorpions, had preformed strongly and looked likely winners after they defeated last year's winners Sharks in the semi-final.. Meanwhile the Mets defeated a hugely improved Sydney Rebels in the other semi-final to secure a position in the main game. Scorpion's coach Terry Cooper expected his team to do well and thought they would be favourites. The Scorpions came from behind to win the game something that they had mastered having done it three times throughout the tournament. The Scorpions were a better team in all areas in the final and the experience of Tony Eltackchi and Phil Jarrett together with the brilliance of Jamie Chan were instrumental in the victory. Player of the final was Christian Frost from the Mets, while Player of the series went to veteran campaigner Tony Eltakchi. |
