"Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka
ora!"

The All-Blacks Haka echoes all over New England's
valleys as the SCC takes all honours in Farmington.

First and foremost, many thanks to the Maryland
SC for making the trip for the Fall Classic that saw
the attendance going from 18 in 2005 and 15 in
2006 to 10 in 2007. Despite the low number of
participants (all belonging to the Old Firm), the
competitions resulted top quality for a very exciting
weekend.

Miguel Marques was sharp on Saturday and claimed
the 2007 NEMO with a dramatic 2-1 OT win over
Sheridan. It was Miguel's 5th ASA title and his 2nd
Master after the win in the inaugural edition of
2004. The Portuguese brought back the title in CT
after Zach Walker's brace of 2005-06.

In the same day, the All-Blacks pulled off a
Liverpool as they completed their comeback from
0-3 titles in the North Atlantic Team Challenge.
Great merit goes to Jim Taylor as he was asked the
hard task to hold MSC captain, Paul Eyes. With
Marques (1-1) & Conturso (2-1 win) struggling
against Maryland's young guns, Cranston &
Sheridan, JT staged a gutsy performance to earn a
1-1 draw. (
Old Firm)

On Sunday, the SCC hosted the 2nd ever FISTF
competition in CT after the 2004 International
Open, when Stephane Lambert from Belgium
enriched an already strong field. Like in 2004,
Massimo Conturso resulted the winner after an
impressive (and unusual) display of shooting as well
as luck. The Italian miraculously escaped from a
series of threats by Paul Eyes in group stage and
Daniel Cranston in the semifinals, before cruising to
the title with a 5-0 win over Sheridan.
