In the first half of the Finals Men both teams were keeping pace with each other. Australian Bentstix team Boomerangs scored in the first minute out of a corner. Five minutes later the Dutch team Inittowinit scored. Right before half time Australia was leading the game again, 1-2.
Second half the Dutch team level with Australia by scoring their second goal. But minutes after that Australia got their third corner and it went right past the goalie: 2-3. The Australians thought they won the game, but then the Dutch came up and scored in the final minute. 3-3: Extra time!

Again Australia got a corner in the first minute, but didn't find the net. Minutes after that, with a nice pass round the goalie, Australia scored 0-1 in the extra time.
The warmth stroke in the Dutch team and they got tired, but kept their fighting spirit.
A couple of times it even became slightly fycial. One of the supporters shouted: yellow card! Another supporter responded: "Man, it's gay hockey, it is only foreplay".
The sprinklers on the field were a great cooling down between the first and second half. But it made no difference, Australia came up and with a perfect pass they scored their final goal. Australia got their title back. With a huge group hug the Netherlands congratulate the Australian team.

In a German-Dutch classic the German ladies of Charme on Tour beat the Dutch Hollands Glorie 2-1.
