The final tournament of 2017, The Billy Walsh, had five teams entered and another week of group games. Jacaranda were the first confirmed team through to the final with convincing wins in both their matches. Vendetta came from behind in their first match against Braemar Farms for a strong win and then booked their place in the final after a win over Loafers with a high score margin. On both teams performances in the group games it was hard to pick a favourite for the final.
Once the ball was thrown in, Jacaranda got to work the fastest notching up a 4-1 lead. Jacaranda player Hamza Mawaz linked well with Ed Banner-Eve with both players looking hot off their handicaps. Garrie Renucci's team were not about to roll over though and came back into the second chukka with determination. Jimmy Wood directed his one goal prodigy and Gold Cup winner Jimbo Fewster well. Fewster, with a helicopter waiting to get him to his next game of the day, wrestled to help his team pull
back the score to just one goal behind Jacaranda by the final chukka.
Unfortunately for Vendetta the final minutes saw them fall the wrong side of the umpire's whistle. Jacaranda used this with some unbelievable play from Mawaz who at this point was playing as if he had just doubled his handicap. By the final bell Jacaranda still had control of the scoreboard to take the final silverware of 2017.
In the Subsidiary Final, Vantage took on Loafers. Both teams had met earlier in the tournament with Vantage winning by just a goal. In the rematch Vantage put in a much stronger performance winning this time convincingly. Vantage professionals Ed Morris-Lowe and Josh Clover having played many times before together showed a strong partnership on the field to help their team to the win. Loafer’s player Ed Courage accepted the floating seat trophy on behalf of his team.
