With three penalties each, Sala managed to win 3-2 to be crowned national champions.

Sala Head Coach Neil Lucas commented;: "It's an amazing achievement for these boys who are mostly under 15s to win. I've been coaching these boys for the past five or six years and to see them improve over the years is amazing."
