Southern Guns Win 2010 State of Origin Series!
Last night saw the conclusion of the State of Origin series for 2010, with the Division 1 match. The Guns went in with a four frame lead, but with two very strong teams the overall winner could have been either side.
All matches have been close this year, but this topped it. Round by round scores were 4-4, 8-8, 12-12.
Going into the fourth round the Guns only needed to win three frames to win the series. The Potters came in firing and won the first three frames, making it very tense in the Guns camp. The Guns fired back and won four of the next five frames. Potters won the final frame to end the match with a 16-16 draw.
Special mention to Edmund Chen and Michael Hazilias from the Northern Potters who both shot 4/4.
So, after 160 frames over five divisions, the final score is Southern Guns 82 – Northern Potters 78. The Guns get the State of Origin shield back after a two year break.
Congratulations to all the players for a very competitive series, and thank you to Chisholm Tavern, Labor Club, Ojo Cafe and Bar, Fyshwick Tavern and The Maram for hosting the matches.
