The BPL Cup is headed back to NSW for the first time since 2018, with Ettalong crowned as 2023 champions.
The trio of Darren Morrison, Lee Threthowan & Nathan Malloy were too strong for their Victoria Park Carlisle (WA) opponents of Patrick Keeffe, Graeme Wishart & Lee Such in the final at Club Pine Rivers on Thursday.
Ettalong went into the final with a slight edge, having beating their opponents in sectional play earlier in the week while carrying an unbeaten record.
The Victoria Park Carlisle Reds made a strong start to the final, collecting the first three shots of the match before Ettalong found their feet.
The Eagles bounced back emphatically, collecting a three on their powerplay end to move clear, a lead that was good enough to see them take the first set 7-4.
They continued that form into the second set, leading 3-0 before the Reds cashed in on their powerplay to go ahead 4-3 after three ends.
A possible tiebreak loomed with the sides deadlocked at 5-5 going into the final end, but it was the Eagles who were able to take the shot, secure the win and take the title.
