AIC Zebra's
B Division Premiers
On Tuesday night the B Grade Grand Final brought a conclusion to the 2011 season with the Australian Italian Club defeating the Waratah Tigers in the Grand Final 13 - 6. The winner of the Gary "Tiger Self" MVP was the AIC's Ronell Brady. The committee would like to thank the Waratah Tigers for agreeing to play the Grand Final on the Tuesday night instead of the scheduled previous Friday night as the AIC would not have been able to field a team on that night. Great sportsmanship from the Tigers.

2011 STEBA B Grade Singles Champion
Tony Rosendale
Over the last two weeks the B Grade Singles Championships have been played on Tuesday nights. We had an outstanding turn out and it is quite obvious that the players are more than happy to play the singles championship on a Tuesday night rather than over a weekend. After all the qualifing matches had been played the final came down to the Waratah Tigers Tony Rosendale and Otto Giusti from the Italian Club with Tony defeating Otto in the final 3 - 2.

A special mention goes to the youngest player in the field, Alex Pace who at only 12 finished 10th overall winning over 50 % of his frames, a great effort considering the quality of the players in this years field and he showed he has a very promising future in our sport.

Tasmania wins Aust Junior Team Final
Tasmania def Queensland in the Team Final on Friday night in Darwin.
This was a great effort by "Team Tasmania" who now have won this title
twice in the past four years and been runner up in the other two years.
Brodie Stubbs & Cale Barrett both lost their championship finals matches.
Unfortunately for Brodie the final of the Under 12 singles was the only match
he lost all competition, while Cale only lost two matches, the semi final & the
final of the Under 15's, but both boy's can be proud of the effort they put in
at this year's Junior Nationals.
David Smart Memorial Match
Southern Tasmania
vs
Greater Northern
A great result for Southern Tas in the Intra Association game against the
Greater Northern Tas rep side.
A Grade - Southern Tas 45 - 19 Greater Northern
Best Player Southern Tas - Chris Forsyth
Results for A Grade Match can be viewed on the by clicking here
B Grade - Southern Tas 21 - 15 Greater Northern
Best Player Southern Tas - Dencil McGifford
The side from Southern Tas proved to strong for the Northerners this year to
regain the trophy they lost last year. The Southerners this year had a very strong
team in A Grade with the majority of players having played for Tasmania at the
National Championships. Chris Forsyth was outstanding for the South taking
his great roster form into this game. Let's hope we get the same response from
players next year when we travel to Launceston to defend the title.
The B Grade team's win was also a great effort by all players as the Northerners
had a strong team & it was good to see some old faces back playing Rep 8 Ball,
outstanding effort from Dencil McGifford on winning all of her 5 frames.
There was also a great roll up of supporters there to watch the games. Overall a
great day and a great result. Lets hope this day will help see a resurgence in
Rep games, they have been sadly missed.
