B Division Grand Final
Druids B make it a Druids Double
Grand Final: Huskies vs. Glenmore Park DruidsB by Matt Hellyer
With Glenmore Park Druids narrowly defeating Werrington County Sonics in an A Grade Grand Final overtime thriller, it was time for their B grade counterparts to step up in the following game – the B Grade Grand Final against Huskies. Suffice to say the game did not disappoint. With a number of players coming straight from the previous game you could be forgiven for thinking the intensity might have been somewhat reduced. You’d be wrong. Both teams had a plethora of players, all keen to expend every joule of energy to see their team win. Bodies were put on the line and sacrifices were made – death or glory was the overriding message demonstrated to the spectators on the sidelines. Fast breaks resulted in some close calls, but no goals were scored all game, with impenetrable defence backed up by impassable goalkeeping. The teams were very evenly matched - try as they might, neither could break the nil all score line before full time. A full five minutes of four-on-four overtime couldn’t yield a result either. Opportunities for both teams were met with spectacular saves. In the second set of overtime, where the golden goal rule applied, a goal saving dive by DruidsB’s Katie Robson resulted in a two minute send off for defending within the goal circle. The game tension now reached its climax, with Huskies having a four-on-three player advantage and making use of it to dominate possession. However, admirable defensive play by DruidsB kept them scoreless for the whole penalty time and full player strength soon reverted the possession imbalance. In the final thirty seconds or so, a fast break by captain Damian Colyer and subsequent power shot saw the ball sail straight towards the goals, ricochet off the outstretched arm of Huskies defender Glen Butler-Fleming and land in the back of the net, only slightly diverted by the intercept. Victory was finally awarded to DruidsB after a considerable escalation of tension for spectators and players alike. Well done to both teams who presented broomball at its very best in a fierce and arduous game.

C Division Grand Final
Knights Reverse Last Seasons Result over Brass Monkeys
Grand Final: Knights Who Say Broomball vs. Brass Monkeys by Josh Burton
Cue lights, then music. The C Grade was the first Grand Final of the night on this, different scenery for C Graders…Monday Night Broomball. When teams start their season and get their hands on the draw, they look at when the finals are and that team they want to play. For the Knights, the Brass Monkeys is that team, and I am sure, the Knights are the Brass Monkeys is the first team they look for. That danger match that matches makes or breaks a season. The Brass Monkeys, the defending champions put us in all honesty to shambles in last season’s grand final. Losing a couple of key players has made their journey back to the Grand Final all the sweeter. The Knights, having gone through the season undefeated with our Wonder Goalie, Ben and the bare essentials in players, was looking forward to capping the season off on a high. The Knights were looking to prove that they could perform in a sudden death game, which has been our major problem The key for tonight was how the play would be dictated. Much like the qualifying final between the two teams, defence was key early, with chances going to both sides, but to no avail. Knights kept on pushing the issue, with Brass Monkeys failing to have a coherent attack to build on. About 10 minutes into the 1st half, the attack from the Knights paid off with a ball coming into the zone, put down by Josh and into the goals for a 1-0 lead. With frustration kicking in for the Brass Monkeys, Knights continued on their attack, which late in the 2nd half, converted a brilliant attack with a shot from Brett, tapped in mid air by Josh hitting the post, and as the goalie for Brass Monkeys was trying to locate, put it inadavertately by his back for a 2-0 lead for Knights going into half time. The Knights were rolling on all cylinders while Reese and Ryan couldn’t connect the pieces with the supporting players leading to attacking failing at the last hurdle. The second half saw the game slow down, which Brass Monkeys, took more advantage of, with attacking plays being stopped by Ben at goals. Knights took charge with some counter attacks to break up play, as Brass Monkeys frantically looked a go-ahead goal to get them a sniff. The last 5 minutes proved lively as Brass Monkeys put chance after chance, but to no avail. Knights victorious 2-0 full time. The Knights, finally got the title we had been working so hard for. A couple special mentions – since it is a Grand Final report. The first is we got the first C Grade for the Knights and especially for Bec, Brett, Nathan, Lucy and Lana, Ben’s second and my third. The second special mention is we are grateful for the Brass Monkeys for their hard work and a great game, season and rivalry that continues on. Thirdly, Thank the other teams involved in C Grade for another great season. Fourthly, the first time, I’ve done this, but I personally think, our MVP’s for the Knights this season goes to Ben and Nathan. Fifth mention, Thanks to the captain, Bec for not being sent off for Becing all season, and last to the overall point scorer for Josh (about time he stepped up to B grade – love my pre-assigned nickname), Stephanie Day from Iceatopes and Ashleigh Priestly for her (I apologise, if this wrong 2 straight point scorer title). Great season by all, look forward to next season.

Womens Division Grand Final
Femmes defeat Furies to take the women's winter title. Congratulations to Megan on her first goal!
Grand Final: Crimson Furies vs. The Femmes by Joanne Mitchell
Femmes and Furies put on a skillfull display, despite the fact that 7 of the women had already played in a final before taking the ice in the women's final, a tribute to the stamina of our women players. A particularly good effort by Bec Davis, who managed to keep running and keep shooting, in her 3rd final of the evening. An early goal from winger Megan Hawkes gave the Femmes the confidence to take charge of the game, creating many attacking opportunities. These attacking opportunities were consistently shut down and counter attacks mounted by the fit and skillfull Furies line up, lead by Kerry Baxter. Missing their most experienced player, Tracy Ivin, the Furies couldn't manage to capitalise on the chances that they created. Focused on the game, the Furies refused to give up, piling on the pressure in the last minutes of the game, with the Femmes breathing a sigh of relief to hear the full time buzzer. 1-0 Femmes! This game was a great display of women's broomball. Both teams played well and played fairly, showing respect for the other team and a dedication to giving their best. Congratulations to all ladies in the finals, and well done to the women's teams - Hockeyroos and Silver Snipers - great season. QUote: "Nobody who ever gave her best regretted it." George Hala

Mens Division Grand Final
Warriors Finally End the Terminators Winning Streak
Grand Final: Warriors vs. Terminators by Saxon Hooper
A long time ago, in a broomball season far far away, Terminators had lost a mens broomball game. However since 2008 they had not and were looking to add yet another title to their long list. In their way, Warriors desperate to avoid losing the finals for the third straight time. Game started fast with both teams squandering good chances with poor shots. Eventually with 5 minutes to go in the first period Warriors struck. Some scrappy play from good forecheck pressure found Bryn Shepherd winning a 50-50 ball and laying it off to me. Stepping through the top line of defence I was able to get off a hard shot at the bottom corner. A little bit of a deflection lead to a small bobble and the odd bounce beat JimmyK in goals. 1-0 Warriors into half time. More of the same in the second half. Some good checks, big shots and good keeping denied all. With 2 to go Terminators pulled the keeper trying to create the extra man in attack and they peppered the goals. Warriors managing to hang on for the 1-0 Grand Final win.

2010 Womens Elite - Grand Final
NSW Sliders Go back to Back in OT again
Grand Final - NSW Sliders vs. SA Sharks
For the last three years the women's elite final was between SA and NSW. Everyone one of those finals has been an epic encounter decided in OT thrillers. SA had the better of the first half controlling posession, pressuring the NSW girls and having the better shots on goal. The second half evened up a bit, but it was anyone's game. Despite the chances the defence and goal keepers denied all comers. 0-0 full time. Into 5 on 5 OT. Some early chances for SA were denied and the turn over lead to a NSW counter. Lisa Price taking the ball down into attack for NSW. Laying the ball back to Kerry Baxter the SA defence collapsed a little, maybe got a little confused on who to mark giving Kerry time to ghost into range. A great shot to the inside right post beat the keeper giving the NSW women back to back titles and 6 of the last 7 titles contested. 1-0 in OT NSW over SA Sharks.
