The Wildcats were aiming to make ARRBL history by becoming the only team in any grade to win three consecutive regional championships in a row. The Bullets aimed to finally top a team that beat them by one point each time they met during the season.

The teams fought it out in a low scoring match and the young Bullets side was in the running until the very final minute - until a Wildcats player scored a quick four points and nudged out their opposition.

The Bullets lost by six points 37-31.

David Wild top scored for the Bullets with 12 points to his name, Matthew Murphy close behind him with 10.

Tenterfield Bullets coach Jason Ash said the team played a strong season and was looking to take the top spot next year.

“It looked like this was our year, but the shots started rimming out and Warwick made a few big buckets and the rest was history,” he said.

“Well done boys on a great season and look out next year.”

The Academy Basketball presentation dinner will be held tonight at the Tenterfield Bowling Club.
