Muggleton League - Cousin 'IT' & Family 78 def Curley & The Bell Ringers 75.

Cousin 'IT' and Family are the 2010 champions in the Muggleton League after holding off an impressive effort from Curley & The Bell Ringers 78-75. Ken Farley and Tony Earl both produced superb scores of 20 points to lead Cousin 'IT', while Kenneth Hicking and Chris Curley countered for Curley & The Bell Ringers with 21 and 19 points respectively. With the match tied and another two scores to come into calculations it was a very tense match right to the finish. To find the final two scores for Cousin 'IT' you could choose any of three players as they all scored 19 points. David Helliwell, Derek Everton and Graeme Wilson all did the job they were expected to do and play around their handicaps for a total of 78. Richard Howard (16) and Paul Taylor (15) also contributed to the Grand Final win for Cousin 'IT'. Curley & the Bell Ringers came close to taking the match but unfortunately for them, scores of 18 points from Timothy Perkins and 17 points from Bigyan Chand and Chuck Fuller were not enough to get them over the line. Warren Mitchell (14) and Ian Herring (13) also took part in the match for Curley & The Bell Ringers.

In the consolation final for third place it was The Gotcha's who were too good for Hog Boys 75-55. Brian Mills scored 21 points to lead The Gotcha's to a win with James Williams also featuring with 20 points.

Featon League - Dirty 1/2 Dozen + a Pom 86 def Wild Things 70.

Both teams in the decider of the Featon League were to only field five players, but that didn't stop Dirty 1/2 Dozen + a Pom from taking control of the match as they have done for most of the season and running away with a big victory 86-70. Anthony Knutson was again the star as he has been for most of the series with an outstanding score under pressure of 25 points for Dirty 1/2 Dozen. John Davies was right there with him at the finish with 23 points, and then it was just up to Mark Li and Rickie Griffen to put the polish on it with 19 points each. Wild Things put in a solid effort but lacked a couple of really big scores to put some pressure on their opponents. Debra Winterbottom was excellent with 18 points, as were Phillip and Carol Wilding who tried hard all the way with 18 points each also. David Cox and Nerida Francisco shared honours for fourth best score in the runner-up team with 16 points.

The Domain Dodgers managed to dodge well in the Grand Final to score a 78-66 win over Lucky 7 for third place. Keiran Jackson had a welcome return to form firing 23 points to lead the winning side. Yolanda Gacho was again impressive with 21 points, while Allan Skinner also played better than his handicap with 19 points in the match.
