Walker Tech saw the conclusion of this year's Handicap competition .
Firstly the Plate in which Whickham Trojans took on Phoenix .
Phoenix had 20 points to make up and the game started slowly with a tempo controlled to their own advantage by Trojans .
The second half was closer with a strong finish by Phoenix , but they never managed to take the lead .
So Whickham took the Plate with Trojans 105 Phoenix 99 .
The second game was the Cup Final .
Oxclose Beavers took a 20 point lead and a scoring premium into the game against Newcastle Student Griffins .
The game started at speed and that remained throughout ,with both sides playing strong man-to-man defence .
Griffins chipped away at the Beavers lead and just overtook them in the third quarter and started to pull away getting to 16 points up .
Strong spirited play from Beavers pulled them back to only 6 down , but Griffins held on to win .
Beavers 146 Student Griffins 157 .
