The WCC LIV has now been completed, and Val-Vartej managed by iridru have been crowned World Club Cup Champions for the 1st time beating Safe Hands 7 time WCC Champions, Koodoo Rand Diamond Geezers 14 - 10 at the Uragan Arena in Romanian.
In what is probably one of the biggest upsets I have seen in my WCC Lifetime, the Romanian team had only beaten the Geezers once in 14 attempts, and had a huge CSR advantage on paper. It didn't start well for the Geezers, losing Zimbabwe International Itayi Sithole in the 2nd minute, but Iridru's team ground out an 8-0 halftime score, and continued their stranglehold in the 2nd half to end the game as Champions for the 1st time...well done to both teams for a close game.
A big well done to all the other managers who took out the trophies in the groups.....some very fine, well contested efforts
