Congratulations to Veitacini on their win in the Final over the Cougars 19-14. A great game with the half time score at 7 all made for a thrilling final half. With time against the Cougars and with Cougars pressing the Veitacini goal line the Veitacini team was able to defend and hold on for a well deserved victory.
