It was finals weekend for the Hamilton Radiology & Midland Osteoporosis Group Saturday Open Grade competition on Saturday.

It was a mixed day in terms of weather with the day initially fine but ending in showers.

Prize giving was held at the conclusion of the relevant games.

There were some great games throughout the day with good spectator support and a few of the final games were really close showing how good the competition was this season.

In the Premier – Pool 1 final this was won confidently by Allied Hamilton Old Boys against Morrinsville College Open A by 39 goals to 22.

In the Premier – Pool 2 final this was a lot closer with only two goals the difference.

Rocket beat Cambridge High School by 25 goals to 23.

The A grade final was also close with Allied Hamilton Old Boys Premier Reserve beating FTNC White by 25 goals to 22.
