Aussies All Smiles After Trans Tasman Victory

Australia have reversed last years result, claiming victory in the Mens (3-0), Mixed (2-1), & Womens (2-1) to take out the coveted Trans Tasman trophy, and now hold a distinct pyschological advantage over traditional foes New Zealand before next years World Cup.

Undefeated across all divisions on day one, Australia lost the second Womens Open game 4-6 on day two to send that division into the decider; but wrapped up the overall series with 9-6 and 7-4 wins in the Mixed and Mens respectively.

Day three saw another fantastic set of matches; NZ restoring some pride with a nail-biting 6-5 victory on the siren in the Mixed, before narrowly missing the decider 4-6 in the Womens. The Mens game picked up where it'd left off the day prior, with plenty of skill, pace, and flare on show for all watching .. including the countless observers across the globe taking advantage of TFA's live video feed .. and in the end it was the 'aussies' who would prevail 10-7 to take the clean sweep of all divisions.

Both nations will now reassess where they're at as they settle on plans for the next 12 months and their assault on the 2015 FIT World Cup.
