Kettleburgh clinch last Grand Finals spot

An epic struggle ensued earlier this evening as Kettleburgh came from 2 games down, to win a fifth game decider by 13-9 and thus the match by 3 games to 2 over Crown Inn Snape.

Played under the floodlit piste at Meadlands Stowmarket, nearly 3.5 hours of playing saw the Kettleburgh team edge past Snape and now progress to face Eels Foot II in one of Sundays semi-finals.
