The team finished top of their Group on 13 points and won the Blues Trophy.

At the presentation they were presented with the Blues Trophy, there was an extra surprise when they were announced winners of The Best Cup for the highest scoring team, it was great to see Justin McBride (top scorer) collect this new trophy for the first time.

The Cubs rounded the day off with a meal in McDonalds on the way home.
