Shocked to see Vecx go out, I thought he was nailed on for the tournament, so well done to Cranston for the upset.

QUARTER FINALS SUMMARY
The quarter finals saw all four fixtures have an EBBL side compete against a division II side, with both bidding to make the semi finals. The games saw all the favourites prevail with none of the division II sides able to keep in touch with the class of the top division sides. Silent Hill were closest in causing an upset against Camborne Crusaders but the latter delivered a terrific second quarter display to win 88-103. The T20 Cricketers were the next closest but never really troubled Sabre Of Valiente who run out comfortable winners by a margin of 26 whilst the other two games saw the EBBL sides, new jersey2 and Los Mikitos, run out victorious in excess of 40 points.

The draw for the semis saw four EBBL teams left standing, featuring two from each conference. As it happens, both games are inter-conference battles as Camborne Crusaders play new jersey2 and Los Mikitos bid to become the fifth team to win back-to-back cups but have Sabre of Valiente standing in their tracks.

Teams are as follows:
EBBL (4/16)
II.1 (0/16)
II.2 (0/16)
II.3 (0/16)
II.4 (0/16)

Good luck to the four remaining teams.

Damn, set my lineup early and neglected to change it, probably could have won if I didn't play 2-3 ;(

SEMI-FINAL SUMMARY
The semis consisted of four strong EBBL sides bidding for a place in this years national tournament final. Only one of the previous four have ever reached the final, with last seasons winner Los Mikitos achieving that. The game between Sabre of Valiente and Los Mikitos saw both teams go hammer and tong at each other all game with the latter going through to book his place in consecutive finals despite the best efforts of Alcide Steffan who amassed 48 points. The other game saw new jersey2 compete against Camborne Crusaders in what was another great match up with the former displaying an illustrious performance in the second half to win by a score of 123-109 with Alencar Fu putting into a star-studded performance, bagging 52 points which included 11 three-pointers.

That means this season's final see's the battle of two sides from the Great 8 conference in the EBBL with Los Mikitos matching up against new jersey2. Los Mikitos will be looking to become the fifth team to win consecutive cups whilst the latter will be competing in their first ever tournament final. Good luck to both teams in what should be a superb game.

Good luck to the two finalists. :)

Great final, congrats to both teams but we're in the age of the monkey...
