In the final game of the ECSL/WCSL Conference Title games, Ngardmau played against its nemesis, Ngaremlengui.Ngaremlengui put on its best performance but Ngardmau remained collected and played as it is reputed, better. “It was a close game, 10 to 8, but the boys from the land of the Waterfall are cool,” said Dwight Ngiraibai, president of Ongiall Association, “they did not wince when Ngaremlengui threatened. They performed really well.”Senator Hokkons Baules and Senator Mlib Tmetuchl donated the trophies given out to the champions and the first runner-ups.
