The Waggon - 2014 State Teams Champions
The State Teams Event for 2014 was held at the HWC on Saturday March 15th & Sunday March 16th with six teams from around the state taking part. The closeness of the competition was shown by the fact that both finals required playoff's to decide the winners.
At the conclusion of the round robin one of the teams from the STEBA "The Waggon" finished on top of the ladder and progressed directly into the final, with the South East's "Rugby Club Breakers" playing the team from the North West Coast "The Coombers" in the preliminary final. Over the past few years these two teams have had some great tussles and this match was no different, with the result decided in a playoff after scores were tied at 15-15. The resultant playoff was won by the Breakers 3-2 who advanced to the final against The Waggon.
In an enthralling final "The Waggon jumped out of the gates to take a commanding 8-1 lead, but slowly "The Breakers" dragged themselves back into the match to eventually have a chance to take the final but it was not to be and the Waggon's Chris Snare ensured the final would also go to a playoff. In the playoff the Waggon were to strong and won this 3-0 and in doing so won this years state teams event.
Eightball Tasmania would like to thank the staff & members of the Hobart Workers Club for the use of there venue and to Darren Jackson for giving up his time to run the event.
