The full time score was 90-55. 

Mosquitoes player Rick Davies said it was the team’s third consecutive grand final win. 

“The Mosquitoes have been together for two years now and we play well as a team, to get another grand final was great,” Davies said. 

The Mosquitoes will have some new faces on the team when the team hits the court next season. “Unfortunately we will lose a couple of players, but we will have a few more junior players in the team. We have quite a young side and it’s great to see the juniors move up the ranks for Moss Vale,” Davies said.
