 Scorpions take out Men's 30's title 15/03/10

2009 runners up, the Sydney Scorpions have overcome the terrible weather conditions on the Sunshine Coast to defeat the Sydney Mets in the Men’s 30’s Final.

The Scorpions scored early in the match from a well executed decoy play that had the Scorpions running easily to the line.

The Mets returned for a touchdown of their own a few minutes later with a long ball to winger Zane Burnard. The score didn’t stay 1-all for long with the Scorpions crossing on the wing after the ball was deemed to be thrown backwards out of the hands and floated forward to winger Paul MacPherson, putting the Scorpions back in front.

Scorpions then extended their lead with a long ball plucked out of the air by link Joe Biskup hitting a great hole.

Late in the first half saw the game get physical and as both teams wanted to be in control by half time.

This saw both teams trade touchdowns before the half time siren. Mets scored through a long ball to winger Corey McLeod and Robert Barakat who beat his link defender with sheer speed.

Scorpions scored through Jason Scharenquivel who caught a bullet from Shane Fredrickson and Len Ryan, scoring the last touchdown for the half on the wing.

The Scorpions went to the half time break leading 5-3.

The second half started out much like the first with the Scorpions scoring the first touchdown of the half, through David Roberts, to take the lead out to three touchdowns.

Chances went begging at both ends of the fields with a few mistakes and some sneaky defence. The game went from end to end but no one could seem to crack the defence and come up with a touchdown.

The Scorpions continued their dominance from the first half running in the second, to Joe Biskup, and fourth (last) - to Adam Fahim - touchdowns of the half to secure the game with at least five minutes remaining on the clock. Biskup’s second for the match came after the Scorpions link stepped a fast shooting Mets winger, and finished off with a nice pass to Biskup. The Scorpions third for the half came from Fahim beating his link defender for speed.

The Mets didn’t give up scoring one touchdown in the second half through Anthony Ziade who hit the link hole off a half runner.

Congratulations to Sydney Scorpions who defeated the Sydney Mets eight touchdowns to four.
