The Tungstens season 08/09 is officially over with 2nd place on the table, and a loss to Greater West Salvos in the 2nd vs 3rd SF played at Doyle Park on the 7th March 09.

A difficult week preceeded the Semi Final with a range of tungsten players unavailable due to exam study (eg Phil Britton), work / study placements (eg Greg Britton), work commitments, injury (eg Dan Odell, Coz Hooper) and other things which in this scribe's humble, or not so humble opinion, simply weren't good enough excuses. Nonetheless, a solid core of Tungsten players (Stephen & David Mugridge, Prash, Nelso, Kyrios, Hammo, Chris & Brendo Gray) were supported by 2 new debutants in Steve Hay & Adam Matthews from SMBC (recruited Friday night by Dave Mug!) and the surprise recall of the rest of Dave Soede from the Northern Magpies (his heart and spirit had never left). In addition, Brendo Gray with an injured wrist (unable to bat) and Steve Hawkshaw weakened from a bout of gastro the day before, coupled with Chris Gray's heel injury sustained whilst batting, meant Tungsten grit was certainly not in short supply . . .
