Our Men’s Division 3 & 4 have won their way through to the 2022/23 State Pennant Playoffs to be played on the 18th-20th November after winning the Zone Title played at Cabramatta on the 15th & 16th October.
Our Division 3 won their way to the final with a terrific fightback win against the host club Cabramatta. Despite trailing by as many as 17 shots, the guys rallied behind a great group of supporters, going on to take the lead & win 62-58. They then had to face a strong Picnic Point side who had won their way to the final defeating our Division 3 Blue side. It was also a very hard fought battle, but our guys finished strong eventually winning 69-52. They now to head to Dubbo for the State Playoffs.
In Division 4, our guys started their finals campaign with a solid 71-53 win over Belfield in Round 1. After earning a Bye in Round 2, they then took on Cabra Vale Diggers in Round 3 with the winner progressing to the final. Our guys were well & truly up for the match, running out convincing winners 77-44.
In the final we played Campsie South. Our guys were on fire early going out to what proved to be a match winning lead. To Campsie South’s credit, they did not give up, narrowing the lead substantially, but our guys finished the job, winning the Zone Final 71-54. They now head to Warilla for the State Playoffs.
Our Division 2 Red side also competed that weekend. They took on a very strong Cabra Vale side in the final. Our guys were behind early, but fought back valiantly. Unfortunately they could not quite close the gap, going down 57-67. We wish Cabra Vale all the best for the State Playoffs.
All the players who competed over the finals weekend would like to thank all our Saints supporters who were large in numbers & in voice.
We wish our 3’s & 4’s all the best for the State Playoffs.
GO SAINTS!!
