Malvern Waves u13/5 24 d St Michael's Storm 19. 

In their first opportunity to play finals, Waves found themselves in the Grand Final having won the Second Semi-Final two weeks earlier. They started well and were in front at each break. Having lead at one stage by 8, they ran out eventual winners by 5.

Malvern Flames u15/6 22 d Sacre Coeur Diamonds 19. 

Flames had finished first on the ladder at the end of the home and away season. They trailed by 4 at quarter time, 3 at half time, and 4 at three quarter time, but a blistering final quarter in which they outscored their opponents by 7 saw them to victory.

Malvern Avalanches u15/5 26 d Lloyd St Lasers 22.

Avalanches had been undefeated through the home and away season and the finals series, but were behind 3-8 at quarter time. They fought back to be down by 1 at half time, but for the rest of the match the scores were never more than 1 the difference either way. Full time saw scores level, so it was on to extra time. Two three minute halves saw the teams still locked together. Another period of extra time saw Avalanches finally break free to win 26 to 22 and retain their undefeated record. Flames having already finished, a large crowd had gathered around the court to watch the closing stages and this contributed to the overall excitement.

Malvern Gales u15/3 37 d Essex Heights Sparrows 27

Gales had had a great season after being regraded, being undefeated in the home and away season.They started well, lead for the whole game and were leading at one stage by 12.

Malvern Hurricanes u17/2 33 d St Benedict's Angels 27.

Hurricanes had been beaten in the second-semi final by St Benedict's and were hopeful of turning the tables in the grand final. Their start was just as they wanted and lead for the whole match before running out victors by 6.

Congratulations to all 20 Malvern teams on a fantastic Winter Season.
