Sydenham Park surprised everyone in Shepparton and won the Macedonian Cup for Victoria after beating favourites Preston Lions in the final.
The 2013 edition of the Macedonian Cup for Victoria, hosted by Shepparton, will be remembered forever by the lads of Sydenham Park who managed to do the impossible. For the first time in their history they won the Macedonian Cup beating not anyone but the famous Preston Lions in the final.
Due to the lack of informations for the far away Australia and thanks to the low comunication from the participants, we can’t provide you the full results of this tournament. Especially the ignorance of the winners who didn’t even bother to answer to our simple question for their group stage results, congrats to them, anyway.
What was thought by anyone to be a final game, happened to be a semi-final clash. Last year’s finalists Preston Lions and Altona Magic faced in the semi-final with the Lions winning comfortably by three golas. This was their revenge as last year Altona beat them to claim the trophy.
