Scorpions claimed their fourth Pride Cup championship in a row, taking the best-off-three series 3-0 on Sunday 9th of April, 2017. A clear victory in game 1 put early pressure on the Dragons who lead by two goals in Balloon Soccer early in the 1st half. The Scorpions fought back well and took the lead with a minute to go. Game 3 was also decided by one goal and bought about a very exciting finish to the series. Well done to both teams!

A big thank you to everyone who attended today and supported our players. It was a great turn out!
