Lexi Heath and Malek Afuamua took to the fields and each proved their worth.
The first day that Lexi and the rest of the team played they went undefeated.
They fell just short of in their quest for the grand final title though.
Malek and the boys drew one on the first day and lost the other two.
They stepped up their game the next day though.
They went undefeated and won the grand final. Man of the match went to Apenisa Driti.
Malek scored in the first game of the first day and set up Leonard Burns and Ziggie Vincent for a couple more.
Malek was pleased with how the team played overall.
“In my opinion we went really good, the boys just needed to play together as a team,” he said. “In the end we finally did. Our defence was incredible and our attack was even better.”
