At the end the Bisons (Loimaa) took the championship but KTP did not give them anything easy, they played hard, they played smart and really physical.
The Bisons had all the answers and had different people stepping up different times and they played great defense!
Have to congratulate all the winners, especially all my former players: Onnea!
