The four finalists

Comment
The CSC2009 tournament was organized as a six-team championship. Each team met the5 others.
Amazingly, at the end of the 4 rounds of matches, 2 teams were unbeaten: Team 2 and team 5. The last match between the two teams became therefore  the de-facto final of the championships.

The  score was very tight, each team leading in turn. In the last two minutes, Team 5 took a decisive advantage to lead 24-19. In a last effort, Team 2 tried to come back, but ended up with 20 only.
