The defence stepped up and stopped Invermess with some form tackling from Michael Orr and his hard hitting Defence .

Next to score was Craig Samuel with a great pass from Nick Farrell at QB but again the 2 pointer was missed . This was enough for the Falcons to go in 12 v 0 at the half.

In the 2nd half Inverness put up a fight to make the game a close finish. Scores from Samuels and Filmer let the Falcons win 25 v 22 . This gave them the championship.

Next up was the Inverclyde Pheonix . This was the host team and they had run the Falcons close at the last tournament therefore fancied an upset .

In the end it was a 36 v 20 victory to the Falcons with scores from Filmer , Farrell,Samuel,Sinclair and Mulheron.

This was enough with the defence having yet another unforgiving game withe Fallon and Orr making some great stops .

The  Wolves were the final hurdle of the day for the Falcons . Coaches Gillespie and Farrell decided that it was the turn of next years team to get a chance to show what they had and this they did admirably.
