For Vancouver Lions, Amanvir earned three valuable points through stops.
Into the second Quarter, Khasla Warriors maintained their domination, despite a fight from Vancouver Lions who even levelled the score at one stage. Sukhbir Singh and Sucha Singh led the raiders pack with their impressive four Raid points each for Vancouver.
However, Khalsa Warriors Raider Yugraj Singh with four successful raids helped his side go 33-24 ahead.
In the third quarter, Vancouver Lions did put up a creditable fight, but Khalsa Warriors with the help of Raiders Manjot Singh (5) and Jasmanpreet Raju (4) ensured their side stayed well ahead. On the other hand, Lions’ raiders Sukhbir Singh (4), Balwan Singh (3) and Gagandeep Singh (3) kept the match close. But Khalsa ensured a sizeable lead at 46-38.
In the final Quarter, Khalsa Warriors dominated once again. Despite Vancouver Lions star stopper Amanvir showing some successful stops his team could not match Khalsa Warriors, who eventually won 60-51.
