FireGeckos and Meerkats lead the series, after strong performances in the previous legs. Six Pack were within touching distance behind, but with the points on offer in Edinburgh, it was winner takes all. 

FireGeckos were the first to fall, losing out in the Quarter Finals. It was a good turnout for the Edinburgh clubs in their home Leg, with Six Pack, Superhands and Galaxy all representing the region in the Semis. 

With Meerkats and Six Pack victors in the Semis, the stage was set for a nailbitting title decided.

Each side exchanged touchdowns in a very close match, with neither side taking advantage of their lead at any point. Meerkats look set to take the title in normal time, with some good defending, but Six Pack were relentless, and forged a way through to equalise late on. 

With the match entering a Drop Off, Six Pack attacked from the restart, and scored with a Quickie from Scottish Mixed Open pairing of Mikey Short and Iain Gray. Meerkats had the right of reply, and came close but were kept out by a strong Six Pack defence.
