The finals are here – Winter and Development Leagues will come to a conclusion next week following an action packed final round of the season.
Phoenix wrapped up the minor premiership in the Winter League, while Hit Squad topped the Development League – Girls and Macarthur claimed the Development League – Boys to go straight into the final, despite one round still to go.
The Winter League had another shuffle at the top with the Manly Eagles dropping from third to fifth, while Cumberland Force pushed back into fourth to clinch a finals spot alongside Phoenix, Hawks and Phantoms. Unfortunately for the Sharks, their late run saw them fall one win short of the finals, despite winning both games on Sunday.
The Development League – Girls minor premiers Hit Squad have gone through undefeated and have been dominant throughout. It will take something special to dethrone the side with Macarthur the big challengers, while Cumberland Force – Gold pushed into third and Phantoms hanging onto fourth.
With one round left in the Development League – Boys, Macarthur have continued its unbeaten run, with Barbarians and Blue Jays sealing second and third with one round to go. The sides will play again early next Sunday, before renewing hostilities in the semi-final, with the winner to face Macarthur for the title.
The Winter League and Development League finals return to Blacktown International Sportspark on May 27 starting at 9am.
