Tri-City and the Coquitlam Beer Hunters both fell short in their bids to make Sunday's final in the B.C. provincial men's field lacrosse championships at Town Centre Park.
Instead, the Whalley Ballers bounced the Ladner Pioneers 13-10 in the gold-medal match.
The Pioneers out-lasted the Beer Hunters 16-14 earlier Sunday to move onto the final, while the Ballers won all three of their tournament games on way to claiming the crown.
The all-star squad comprised Whalley players Tom Johnston (goalie), Anthio Yuen (big stick) and ex-PoCo Saints junior box standout Bryan Poole (attack), along with Lander's Bryan Safarik (midfield).
The Ballers' Ian Poole won tourney MVP.
