THE HBA winter premiers were crowned on Wednesday night, with St Mary’s Black and Minders winning the division one titles.

St Mary’s Black took on St Mary’s Orange in the Division 1 Women’s decider, and it was Black which burst out of the blocks, jumping out to a 14-6 lead before a timeout was called with seven minutes to play in the first half.
