Wessex Leopards carried off the men’s GB Super League trophy in what was effectively a final at Cannock this afternoon. As the luck of the draw would have it, Wessex Leopards and Pennine Pumas headed the table this morning and so the winner of this match would also be the winner of the tournament. Jonty Clarke set the ball rolling for the Leopards with a 7th minutes penalty stroke, but Simon Egerton equalised for the Pumas just before the half-time hooter. But the final say went to the Leopards when Ian MacKay netted the ball in the 54th minute. Final Score 2-1 to the Leopards.
Caledonian Cougars finished in third place, nine points behind the winners.
In the women’s GBSL the format is slightly different, and we had a genuine final between Pennine Pumas and Saxon Tigers, which the Pumas won 3-0. The scorers were Suzy Gilbert, Rachel Walker and Kerry Williams. The third place was taken by Caledonian Cougars who beat Celtic Panthers 2-1 in the 3rd/4th play-off.
