Congratulations to the Labor Club Stickmen, who took out the 2013 Champion of Champions last night with a close 18-16 win over the Fyshwick Tavern Schlutz.

Stickmen captain Matt Power posted a great message on our facebook page:

Just wanted to thank the Schlutz for a great match in the champions of champions grand final last night. It was tight all the way through and either team could have won. Both teams played with grand final enthusiasm but also grand final nerves! The Schlutz are a great bunch of guys, really enjoyed the match, were very gratious in defeat (go Stickies!) and they do our association proud.

Well done to everyone involved.
