Greensox win Grand Final at 23rd Edinburgh Festiball<\/h1>\n
\n

Tue 27 Aug 2013<\/p>\n

\"\"Two Manchester teams \u2013 the Greensox and the Lions \u2013 met in the Grand Final of the 23rd Edinburgh Festiball <\/strong>on the weekend of 24-25 August, and the Greensox triumphed 5-3 on a massive late home run by Michael Lee.\u00a0 Other winners were Blitz and Finsbury Dazzlers from London and Honey Badgers from Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Thirty-one teams took part on a weekend that produced drizzle on both mornings but sunshine later, and all eight finals on Sunday were played in glorious conditions.<\/p>\n

Grand Final<\/h2>\n

The Grand Final was played in front of the usual enthusiastic crowd, and it was the third time the Greensox and Lions had met in a final this season, with the Lions having won on both previous occasions.\u00a0 Was this to be the Lions’ year in their first-ever appearance in the Festiball’s Pentland Cup Final, having secured the Manchester Division 1 title earlier in the week (thus becoming the first team other than the Greensox or Mavericks to win the MSL since 1999)?<\/p>\n

The answer was no.\u00a0 In a thrilling game, Michael Lee hit a massive late home run to secure the win for Greensox by a score of 5-3.<\/p>\n
