ULTIMATE CIVIC LEAGUE GRAND FINAL WRAP

Greenhills Beavers 49 v St. Mary’s Sharks 37

The return season of our Ultimate Civic League came to a close last night with the Grand Final being played between two of the DVBA’s historic clubs, the Greenhills Beavers and the St. Mary’s Sharks.

It was a great spectacle with the grandstand full of supporters cheering on both teams be it families, friends or Diamond Valley locals coming to watch. However, only one team can win on the night and on this occasion, it was the Greenhills Beavers.

Having the two highest scoring teams for the season play against each other, the final was not expected to be a low scoring game. Both teams came out with the defensive mentality, not giving up any open shots and making it extremely difficult for the opposition to score. At three quarter time the defensive shackles were still clamped with the scores being 29 -20 in Greenhills favour.

The fourth quarter was both intense and entertaining for both the spectators and the players with a whopping 20 – 17 pointes scored. St. Mary’s pushed the tempo at every opportunity and it almost paid dividends with an 11 – 4 run in a matter of 2 minutes. However, the experienced Greenhills Beavers took advantage of the mismatches close to the basket to seal the win.

Greenhills centre Adam Moore was the dominant force in this game with no single player able to contain him finishing with 23 points. Tom Boek was the surprising X-factor for St Mary’s shooting 10 points including 3 from beyond the 3-point line in 2 minutes.

We would like to thank life member and sponsor Brian Harvey who attended the night and presented the $1000 cheque to the winning team, the Greenhills Beavers. We would also like to thank the players, referees, scorers and spectators who attended/participated in the Ultimate Civic League for this season.
