Friends take out 2006 Elite Comp

The men's final of the 2006 Elite comp saw 3 time champions Friends take on the young guns And2. With so many young players on the court we thought we were going to see a running game, but both sides decided to pass the ball around more and wait for the right scoring opportunities.
The Friends team had plenty of big boys on the inside, so And2 were forced to try and shoot the ball from the perimeter.

Having coach/player Nga Puna on the bench due to illness proved profitable for the Friends team in the end as he was able to give good direction to his team.

At half time Friends were only up by 3 points, but in the 2nd half the Friends team with the help of Charlie and Peter were able to outscore And2 21 -13.
Thus bringing the final score to 36-25.
