Delta Islanders Novice "C" Islanders lacrosse team returned home as champions from the Adanac Cup in Coquitlam. The Islanders put together an unbeaten run in the eight-team tournament that included solid wins in round-robin play against the host Coquitlam Adanacs (7-2) and Burnaby Lakers (4-2), while also battling the Ridge Meadows Burrards to a 2-2 tie.
Delta qualified for the semi-finals where it squared off against the Burrards' other tournament entry which was also unbeaten.
The Islanders came through with an exciting 7-6 victory.
The result set-up a rematch with the Burrards #2 team the Islanders had earlier played in round-robin action. It was another nail-biter until the late stages of the third period when Delta pulled away for a 7-3 victory.
