The competitions began Saturday night with the junior preliminary rounds taking place, reaching the final four were Jets #1, Retrieve Raiders #1, Jets #2 and Kings #1. Among the seniors, those advancing were Royals, Jets #1, Kings #1 and Jets #4.
Both Jets teams were winners on Sunday when the semi-finals and finals were held with Jets #1 taking championship honours led by the Most Valuable Player Tishawn Kitt, as they won 16-12.
In the senior semi-finals, Jets #4 secured a place in the title round by beating Jets #1 and Royals took care of Kings #1 in the second semi.
In the senior final, Jets #4, being too good for Royals, carted off top honours again for the Ward club, this time led by Most Valuable Player award winner Quincy Easton for a 15-10 triumph.
The trophies and replicas for the two competitions were donated by the LABA President Lawrence Simon.
