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.

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.
