A report from our captain, Alex Jelicic:

Cedars went to the State Cup in Newcastle with a full squad except without one of their star setters Sebastian Bibring and with some new members: Dennis, Andre and Jamal. Dennis and Andre being new players developed by Sydney Cedars and training at Trinity with Andrew Simos as their coach.
In earlier stages of the tournament head coach Joe Haddad experimented with alternative line ups and gave all players an opportunity to show their skills and add more to their on-court experience. As a result of these changes, there were some very close sets, which were hard fought in the end, but the experience some of the younger players gained was priceless for their further development of their skills.
At the business end of the tournament cedars took a more focused approach .
Semi finals against dragons was a first real test during the tournament and cedars had a total control from the first point of the match. Solid performance with 2:0 win placed Cedars into their consecutive "15th" final.
The final showdown was against uts who beat state cup 1 winners eagles by 2 points. The finals started with 5:0 lead by cedars with Darren's impressive serving that could not be controlled by UTS. This made a great start for the finals which was completely dominated by the Cedars
It was in the end a quick game. An unusual easy win against the UTS team who usually performs very well against the Cedars.
Cedars performance was Almost as impressive as their perfect SVL record over more than a decade, cementing Cedars as still the best team in NSW, and a record that no-one will undoubtly match in Australia.
Next cedars are looking to test their skills against AIS team in canberra in coming weeks and the start of SVL 2010.
