Homer's Heros are 2009 Champions

After a solid 19-11 win tonight Homer's Heros have completed their domination of the inaugral Kiwi Teams Championships. Runners up TigerBees had needed a win tonight by 19-11 but instead found themselves on the wrong side of that result. Homer's Heros won all but one of their 10 matches. They qualified first with a margin of 20 VPs and they have won all the games in the final to win by 15 VPs.

Beauty & the Beast had a big last round win over Breg to take out the Bronze medal.

In the Plate, Palmy Punters beat The GEMs 21-9 to sort out first and second there. Palmy Punters won all their plate matches. A last round draw was enough to enable Cross Ruffers to hold off Freezing Jokers for third.

A big last round win to Starlites completed their clean sweep to take out the Consolation. Fairly close behind were TopTown Girls and Gurus in second and third.

So...drum roll please, Congratulations to:

Homer’s Heros: patricck/qwikjanz/barry/jenm - FIRST

TigerBees: buzzybee/tigerboy1/abeljan/andrewnz/hda/dolbeldjd - SECOND

Beauty & the Beast: trudy nz/gogga/nztipg8/halfbach - THIRD

Palmy Punters: janwhy/ken 436 & noelwz/ljs - FIRST IN PLATE

Starlites: acolitecs/jenstar/hoki/limboman/long toni/kiwijane - FIRST IN CONSOLATION

I hope all teams will be back for the November knock out and I hope there may be a few extra teams then too.

Finally a special mention for Beauty & the Beast and Gurus. Not only did these two teams field the same line up for all 10 weeks of the competition but their captains emailed in the line-ups on time every week without fail!
