Up against Edmunds Interior Predators, who entered on the back of a 57-54 slim victory against Just Brick It last week, Mayso's Pro Shop were expecting to come out on top having beaten the Predators on two occasions during the regular season this year.
However, the half-time score showed something not predicted, with the Predators up four points on the opposition, leading 16-12.
Eventually it was the favourites who came out on top to claim the 2019 title with a 32-29 victory.
