Waves Cities turn the tables with weekend win

Jimmy Carter plays the ball for Waves Cities in their Bundaberg Hockey Division 1 Men’s Grand Final win over All Blacks at Hinkler Park on Saturday.

Captain Adam Harradine led from the front with a double as Waves Cities put four straight grand final losses to All Blacks behind by turning the tables on them with a 6-0 white-wash in the Bundaberg Hockey Division 1 Men’s decider at Hinkler Park on Saturday night.

That was after their Division 1 Women had completed back-to-back titles with a 2-0 victory over Arrows/Athletics.

Cities also contested all of the other five grand finals, defeating Arrows in both Division 2 Men and Under-13, 5-2 and 2-0 respectively, but losing to Raiders/Rovers in both Division 2 Women and U11, 1-0 and 5-1 respectively, and Arrows 4-3 in U16.

In Division 1 Men, after a scoreless first quarter, Joel Latham drew first blood for Cities in the first minute of the second term, but that was the only goal until the Blues put their stamp on the match with three more strikes in quick succession to Under-16 rising superstar Sam Aitkenhead, Lewis Dexter, and Adam Harradine in the 36th, 39th and 44th minutes respectively.

Player/coach Jerry Burtt put them further in front in the 49th minute, before Adam put the icing on the cake, hammering in his second goal in the dying seconds.

Despite Adam’s heroics, in a galaxy of stars, Joel Latham took out the Player of the Final award, before also picking up the Division 1 Men’s Patron’s Player of the Year.

In Division 1 Women, Cities and Arrows battled it out in a 60-minute end-to-end duel, but the Minor Premiers and defending champions got home with two goals late in the second quarter with Pippa McKinstry breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute, before Sarah Quaite converted from a penalty corner four minutes later.

Waves Cities captain Angela Asnicar, who took out the Player of the Final award, clears the ball out of the danger zone against Arrows/Athletics.

Cities stalwart and captain Angela Asnicar was a popular winner of the Player of the Final.

NETBALL

Goal Shooter Kendal Dodd was on fire, spearheading unbeaten Minor Premiers and defending champions Waves Gold to a 60-28 demolition of Brothers Hurricanes in the Bundaberg Netball Warren Family Homes Division 1 Premiership Grand Final at the Superpark on Saturday night.

The Hurricanes never stopped trying but Waves Gold were in a league of their own, and they were ruthless all over the court throughout with Kendal producing a stunning display to fire the shots as they took total control in a 19-3 first quarter, and powered on to extend their lead at every break, to 31-10 at half-time and 45-19 at three-quarter time.

Every Gold player shone but it was impossible to go past Kendal for the Player of the Final award.

Waves also took out Division 2 with their Red side accounting for their Purple outfit 51-34, and Division 6 in another intra-club affairs, with Sapphires downing Silver 47-22.

Brothers picked up four premierships, with their Thunder rumbling against Waves Royals 40-35 in Division 3, Twisters outgunning Natives Parrots 59-36 in Division 4, Typhoons striking down Alloway Emeralds 36-26 in Division 8, and Avalanches overwhelming Alloway Lavender 24-12 in Division 11.

Fusion secured two titles, with their Sandhills edging out Natives Kingfishers 29-27 in Division 9, and Force living up to their names against Waves Teal 33-6 in Division 10.

The Division 5 finale was an all-Natives affair with Firebirds laughing against Kookaburras 29-20, while Alloway shared in the spoils with their Aqua side running out 39-26 victors against Brothers Wildfires in Division 7.

A complete netball wrap, including photos of all winning teams, will be published on Bundaberg Now later in the week.

FOOTBALL

Stalwart veteran Chris Norris scored in the decider for the second year in a row as Brothers-Aston Villa completed a hat-trick of grand final victories, recovering after conceding an early penalty goal to defeat United Park Eagles (UPE) Green 3-1 in the Wide Bay Division 1 Men’s North Cup at Martens Oval on Friday night.

Chris equalised on the stroke of half-time, before they took the lead via last year’s Golden Boot winner Jesse Sommer midway through the second stanza, then Jacob Green sealed the deal for the League Champions with his 9th goal of the season in the 77th minute.

In the Women’s Division 1 North grand final, a Shakira Damico goal in about the 15th minute was enough for Bargara to upset League Champion and hot favourites Diggers 1-0 after having lost last year’s decider to UPE 7-4 after having led 3-1 at half-time.

In the Premier League Men’s division, 2020 grand final victors UPE, who placed fourth on the ladder, set up a rematch for the crown with League Champions Across The Waves (ATW) with quiet achieving sharpshooter Josh Adcock notching a double to lead them to a 3-0 Preliminary Final triumph over their hosts, second seeds Fraser Flames.

UPE also contested the Reserves Men’s Preliminary, but they were blown away by Bingera 4-1.

Premier League Women’s Champions Sunbury Blues were upset by KSS Jets 3-1, while defending grand final champions UPE kept their hopes alive at ATW’s expense 2-0.
