Sadly that is the correct score.

And they actually played for 48 minutes? I have this picture in my head of Todd Gower's defense being so good that he limited the scoring of both teams.

Gower must have scored from the other end of the court, I don't think I've seen him cross over from his own defensive half this season.

Issac,

Was actually a 40 minute game. But still low scoring.

Speaking of low scoring - the Tigers were a bit low scoring in the win column for the season! They were close a few times but I don't think they know how to win anymore.

#160843,

You said "North were just machines on defence"....
I guess 51 is really "filling it up"?

The game was a good old fashioned "grind it out" defensive game from BOTH teams.

North were just better at the offensive end - and credit to them for a gutsy win to make it into the finals.
