The first stanza set the tone of the contest, as Eagles made their intentions known by soaring to a comfortable 25-18 result.
The intensity and outcome was matched in the second set, as the experienced Eagles unit took a 2-0 advantage, compliments of a 25-18 score.
Staring down the barrel of a sweep in their three match series, Young Achievers could not prevent the aforesaid outcome, as they slipped to an arduous 24-26 loss to hand the title to Eagles.
In the individual section of the presentation, Matheson copped the Best Outside prize, while teammate Carlos de la Toore was adjudged the Best Setter.
Similarly, the Best Libero award went to Bepaul Bandoo of Young Achievers while club-mate Juan Valesquez was adjudged the Best Opposite. The Most Improved Player was Kirby Richards.
