Group B - Ss Osmund and Andrew, St Stephen and All Martyrs, BSCA B, Moorgate

 Tonge Moor and St Stephen and All Martyrs topped their respective groups with two wins and a draw.

 Semi-finals  

Tonge Moor met their local rivals and current cup holders Moorgate and edged into the final with a narrow 6-4 win

The other semi-final was less close with St Stephens storming into the final with a 10-5 victory !

 The third and fourth place – produced rather a surprise with BSCA A beating a very disappointed Moorgate by 6-4.

The Final

This was an extremely close fought contest with neither side dominating but in the end it was the power shooting of Tonge Moor (containing 4 members of last years’ Year 4 winning team) who came through with a 9-7 win.
