A 23-year-old man has been convicted of murder after stabbing a father-of-three at a busy shopping centre.

Michael Ugwa, 29, died at the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex on 28 April last year.

Muhammad Khan, 23, of no fixed abode, Ilford, east London, attacked Mr Ugwa with a flick knife after the victim made "admiring comments" towards Khan's female friend.

A jury found him guilty following a trial at Basildon Crown Court.

Brandon Lutchmunsing, 20, of Grafton Road, Dagenham, east London, was found guilty of manslaughter and affray, and Shannon Weston, of Paddocks Close, Canewdon, Essex, was found guilty of three counts of assisting an offender.

Prosecutors said Mr Ugwa, from Rainham, was with a friend when they passed the three defendants in the food hall at the site in Thurrock at about 16:30 BST.

The two groups were not known to one another.

Jurors were told "Michael passed some admiring comments" to Ms Weston - Mr Lutchmunsing's girlfriend - prompting the two men to chase him around the food court tables.

CCTV showed Mr Ugwa defending himself with chairs but Khan eventually stabbed him in the chest with a "single and deadly blow".

The victim was "quickly surrounded by helpers" but died from catastrophic bleeding.

The two attackers - wearing balaclavas - fled the scene and Ms Weston drove them away.

'No danger'

Temporary Det Ch Insp Julie Gowen, the senior investigating officer, said Mr Ugwa was due to get married.

"This case shows the tragic consequences that carrying a knife can have," she said.

"Khan had tried to claim he was carrying the knife for self protection but there was no suggestion that he was in any danger in this incident."

The jury returned unanimous verdicts after about 21 hours and 30 minutes of deliberation.

They are due to be sentenced at a later date.

Set it off: ancient history

No, there's no denying chemistry this strong

Yes, pretend it's right but we both know it's wrong

Thinking about the storm advancing

Thinking about the lightning dancing in your eyes

But I, can't shake these memories I bring inside

Tension builds, I think we're under-thinking part time thrills

I know, I know how to drive you wild

You know, you know how to make me smile

But I need you to be my ancient history

Damn, pick up the phone, I know I'm drunk again

And you, know my intentions cause it's two AM

It's fun and games until we both get hurt

We play with fire cause we like the way it burns

No use in catching up a sinking ship

This is the last time we do this, baby

This is the last time you taste my lips

I know, I know how to drive you wild

You know, you know how to make me smile

But I need you to be my ancient history

I know, I know who you really are

You know, you know how to break my heart

But I need you to be my ancient history

You'll get cast away

Let me throw you cross the bed

Got you running cross my head

When I know I should be sleeping

But I can't escape

You're addicted to the last taste

Imagine that we trust

But you're begging for it, screaming for it

Here we go, now it's time to cut the cord

And abandon all support

I know, I know how to drive you wild

You know, you know how to make me smile

But I need you to be my ancient history

I know, I know who you really are

You know, you know how to break my heart

But I need you to be my ancient history

Tampa, Florid pop-rockers Set It Off have announced that their fourth album, titled Midnight, will hit stores on February 1st via Fearless Records. The effort was produced by Mike Green (Neck Deep, All Time Low, State Champs) and Brandon Paddock (Panic! At The Disco, The Used, Daughtry). Physical and digital pre-orders are available now at this location.

Additionally, the band have released a music video for a new track off the album. Check out “Lonely Dance” below. Frontman Cody Carson said of the new song:

“Welcome to ‘Lonely Dance’, the anthem of the introvert, where we can all be content and not feel like a freak for just wanting to stay inside where we feel at home. We’re really excited about this song and the music video accompanied with it. It’s honestly my favorite music video of ours to date. As far as the concept, how can you get more isolated than space? It was an unbelievable experience to work on a set so intricate and beautiful as that spaceship and the team behind the camera were just amazing!”

The song is the second single taken from Midnight. This past summer, following their signing to Fearless, Set It Off debuted a music video for the song “Killer In The Mirror”.

Lastly, the band have revealed tour dates for North American, European, and U.K. tours in support of Midnight. Opening acts have not been revealed. Tickets for the North American tour are on sale now at SetItOffBand.com, while tickets for the overseas leg go on sale this Friday, November 23rd.

Best of 2016 - Staffordshire Wedding Photographers

Best of 2016 for Staffordshire Wedding Photographers

What a truly spectacular year 2016 was for Staffordshire Wedding Photographers Stuart James...a year that saw us be a part of and capture more weddings than ever before, taking us to old familiar places and to new exciting settings, capture weddings from intimate to grand, from simple to lavish, and catching up with some old friends along the way. The year was also truly special for the stories we got to share... Each wedding story is a pleasure to capture, but when adding in wonderful couples whom you connect with deeply, couples who you've known for years, seeing families once again from previous weddings, and sharing in and capturing the day of my best friend, 2016 really was something special.  Here's the first of two posts taking us through the year, from the wonderful start with Natalie and Andy as they tied the knot on a calm and mild February afternoon at the stunning Weston Hall, always a venue that it's a pleasure to be at...  From the relaxed and intimate wedding of Natalie and Andy, it was to the truly fabulous wedding of Jess + Matt at the wonderful Moor Hall - a venue that is always a pleasure to be at. Jess + Matt found me from a recommendation from a previous client, and to catch up with friends whom I'd lost touch with on their day, really added to the story for me... It was also the first of many all day coverages for us...what a party!! Hours after capturing Jess and Matt's day it was my first wedding of 2016 at The Moat House for Nicola + Mitch's wedding, a day full of love and emotion, with the show only stolen by their gorgeous son.  Here's just one from their day: What can I say about the next wedding... A wedding that took me to a new venue in Dodford Manor, to share and capture the wedding of my oldest and best friend Claire as she married Lee. What a truly wonderful day to be part of and capture...even it my capturing their day meant I'm nowhere to be seen in their album!! From Claire + Lee's wedding it was back to The Moat House for the wedding of Stacy and Rob, which was also the first time I brought filming into a wedding story producing the first of our PhotoFilms of the year...more on those to come! Stacy + Rob's wedding was full of so much emotion (especially from the emotional Badger!!) it was beautiful to be part of, and with the early spring weather on our side, it certainly helped add in to a wonderful day...  Weston Park has long been one of my favourite venues, and Val + Richard's wedding saw me back there at the start of the venues new chapter...and it's certainly a chapter I'm excited to be part of! Val + Richard's wedding was a delight to share. From the first time we sat down to discuss their day, I knew my approach and style of photography would be perfect for them, and from sitting down with them both when we brought the final story and album together, I know we hit the nail on the head! 2016 must have been one the the biggest years for friends weddings too as not only did I get to share Claire + Lee's day, I also got to capture the wedding of Emma + Darren - a couple who I've known for years through my corporate photography - before further friends weddings came later in the year... Emma + Darren's day was just a treat to capture. Knowing the Knowles family certainly added to the day, and seeing friends their from my other business as guests, added something in to the day... From the morning preparations through to the ceremony at the church and the reception that saw me back at the stunning Hadley Park House it was truly a wonderful day to capture. The week following Emma + Darren's wedding it was the wedding of another couple I know from the same corporate client (AFBlakemore) as Becky + Ryan tied the knot at our 'local' church of Great Wyrley before heading back to the stunning Weston Hall.  Blessed with truly stunning May weather, their day could not have been more perfect! The day after Becky + Ryan's day was yet another stunning day for weather , and it took me to the stunning Shugborough Hall Estate and the Tower of the Winds for Helen + Paul's truly intimate and very special wedding. Being with everyone for only a few hours was a real change from my usual coverage, but it was a pleasure to capture their story... I had one final wedding in May before I headed stateside for a corporate conference, and it was an opportunity to work alongside my brother for the first time in years too, with Steve covering the guys preparations whilst I was with the girls, and staying with me to add in coverage up to the meal... Naomi + Martyn's wedding was at the lovely Brandon Hall in Coventry which with the character of the forest on the grounds, really sets itself up perfectly for photography. From an intimate day, the wedding took a huge turn for the night with a truly fantastic party with what felt likes hundreds of people arriving...and I think it's safe to say everyone had a fantastic time! And the photobooth...well that went down a true storm!! Evidence here! The end of May saw me away from weddings for a week, with my corporate business taking me to San Diego to capture the SPAR Convention 2016. If you want to see what we got upto, take a look here! To kick the start of the summer off for me it was back to Sandon in Staffordshire. I've known Charl + Caddy for a few years after I photographed Charl's sisters wedding a few years ago and to say I was looking forward to seeing the Paddocks and the wonderful set of friends and family of Charl and Caddy is a huge understatement! Presented with stunning weather and a wonderful combination of venues including All Saints Church in the grounds of Sandon, the saloon at Sandon Hall for the wedding breakfast, and finally, a wonderful tipi setup from Elite Tents in the garden, the is no way the day could have been improved. It was also fabulous to be working alongside my good friends Andy + Stefan from Zeus Films who captured a wonderful video of their day too! Following Charl + Caddy's wedding I was back to Weston Hall for a couple who booked me through Barry James for their day. Lyndsey + Howard live in Essex but came back to Lyndsey's roots for the wedding at the fabulous Weston Hall in Staffordshire. The weather was typical for time of year and went from glorious sunshine to heavy shows, back and forth throughout the afternoon, but nothing could change the feeling and mood of the day... With a fabulously entertaining group of friends from uni up with them for the day, added in with a wonderfully warm family, the day was just a treat to be part of. Lyndsey + Howard's wedding was also our first commissioned photofilm and was a true treat to put together... [pexvimeo pex_attr_src="https://vimeo.com/175547790"][/pexvimeo] Following Lyndsey + Howard's day it was back to The Moat House for Jo + Dave's midweek celebrations. A fabulously relaxed day, with coverage for a shorter period capturing the main story for them.  From another visit to The Moat House, it was time to head to a brand new venue for me, the stunning Warwick House in Warwickshire. Rachel + Stuart came in with a truly bespoke coverage to capture the elements of their day perfectly, and the album that came together truly was a story that showed the fun and emotion throughout the day. Unfortunately the weather was not kind enough on the day to allow for the outdoor ceremony, but adding in one of the craziest registrars brought it's own highlight to the day.  Sandon Hall has always been a very popular venue for us at Stuart James Photography, and 2016 was no exception.  In the middle of July it was back to All Saints Church at Sandon and Sandon Hall for Alex + John's stunning wedding! A day that started in the middle of Stafford at The Swan for the final preparations of John and the boys, before catching up with Alex and the girls at Sandon Hall, really set the tone for the day. Working alongside Andy + Stefan of Zeus Films added to the day, with their film capturing another complete element to tell the full story for Alex + John's friends to look back on. Photographing second weddings of a family was somewhat of a theme in 2016, continued with Fran + Matt's celebrations in July. I met Fran + Matt whilst photographing Fran's brothers wedding at Packington Moor in 2015, and as soon as they were putting the plans together for their day and sat down with me, it was clear their wedding was going to be something special and an absolute treat to capture. Starting the day in Dudley for the morning preparations of both Fran and Matt before the ceremony at the incredibly welcoming and warm church of Lake Street Methodist Church. The reception was at a pretty special venue full of character - Newlands Bishop Farm! It was so wonderful to see all of the family again for Fran + Matt's wedding, and to meet Matt's side of the family. A truly fabulous day to be part of and to capture. It's always interesting to see how years change from one to another especially with how often we end up at the same venues, and 2016 was definitely a year we were at The Moat House a number of times... The end of July saw us back for the wedding of Sarah + Gav, a couple who I hit it off with as soon as we first spoke about their day, and after spending an afternoon with them on the Severn Valley Railway for their pre-wedding engagement session, I really felt a connection with the couple heading in to their day... A day that had one clear message throughout...831. Eight letters. Three Words. One Meaning. I love you. What a truly fabulous day it was. From the fun and laughter with the girls and boys during the morning preparations, the couple being called Gavin and Stacy! during the ceremony in a slip-of-the-tongue by the registrar, to the fabulous entertainment from Something Acoustic the day was truly perfect! With a truly special group of friends from their days together at university when they first met, to incredibly warm family, the wedding really was truly special and one I cherished being part of... I only hope I get the chance to work with the family again in the future...even if it means I have to travel to good old Canada ;) The first half of the year finished for me at the end of July with a return to one of my favourites cultures with the Greek weddings of Stella + Steve! Over the years myself and my father (Barry James Photography) have had the pleasure of photographing many Greek weddings throughout Birmingham and beyond, and this year saw a return to the community with Stella + Steve's wedding following the recommendation from my good friend Andy Louca. Stella + Steve's day started in Nottingham with the preparations and the traditional ceremonies and blessings at home before the ceremony at St Lukes Orthodox Church in Birmingham. From the church it was to Villa Park for the reception, starting with entertainment from a close magician who found fame on Britain's Got Talent for the arriving guests.  A night full of fabulous traditions and entertainment with the Greek band for Stella's side of the wedding, and Kelly's heroes for Steve's Irish side! What a party!! A truly wonderful way to finish the start of 2016! The rest of the year to come...

CANTLON'S CORNER: WOLF PACK OFF SEASON VOLUME 19

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT -  This is the final look at hockey news until The Hartford Wolf Pack opens training camp. TRAVERSE CITY TOURNAMENT The roster for the New York Rangers that will compete in the 2018 Traverse City tournament is set. The annual prospects tournament that's held in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or the "UPEE," as its known, will feature prospects from eight NHL teams. The Detroit Red Wings hosted tourney runs from September 7th until the 11th. For the Rangers, this is their 12th straight appearance in the tournament, which was almost postponed this year because of renovations being done on the arena. There are two divisions in the tournament named after legendary Red Wings players. The Rangers will play in the Ted Lindsay division which features Detroit, the Dallas Stars, and, the Minnesota Wild. The other division is named after Gordie Howe and prospects from the St. Louis Blues, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Columbus Blue Jackets will battle it out. This is the 20th year of the tournament. The games are played in the Centre Ice Arena. When the Rangers unveiled their roster, it had ten players on it who spent either all of last season or part of it in Hartford. Leading the charge on the ice will be forwards Lias Andersson, Filip Chytil, and wearing the "C" for the second prospects tournament in a row will be, Ty Ronning. There are other familiar forward names. Gilbert Fontaine is expected to take a stronger role in the offense this fall. Dawson Leedahl is on the roster and then there are two collegians who signed with the team in the offseason and had late-season auditions in Hartford last spring. They are Drew Melanson from Boston University, where he played under new Rangers head coach, David Quinn, and Justin Salvaggio from the UNH Wildcats (HE). On the backline will be the Rangers' highly-regarded prospect, Ryan Lindgren. He played ten games at the end of the season after leaving Minnesota (Big 10). Lastly, there's defensive-minded defenseman Brandon Crawley. The rest of the newcomers include some highly thought of talent acquired in trades or were drafted. Up front, is Brett Howden who was acquired from Tampa Bay in the trade for ex-Wolf Pack duo Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller. Two European free agent signees include Sweden's Mikael Lindqvist, and Finnish native, Ville Meskanen. Tim Gettinger from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL) starts his first pro camp. Two draft picks from June include the Swiss-born, Nico Gross (Oshawa OHL), who was just one of two 17-year-olds who played in last year’s WJC (World Junior Championship). The other was the first overall draft pick by Buffalo, Sweden’s Rasmus Dahlin. The other draftee is defenseman Joey Keane (Barrie Colts OHL). On defense, Sean Day, a Ranger #1 pick two years ago, arrives for his first camp. Libor Hajak was acquired in the Tampa Bay trade. He went to the Memorial Cup final with Regina (WHL) where he was coached by ex-Wolf Pack championship coach, John Paddock, plus former UCONN defenseman and captain Derek Pratt. He signed in the offseason with the Rangers new Double AA affiliate, the Maine (Portland) Mariners. Tyson Helgeson, who played four games at the end of the year, will be there but is heading to Royal Military College in Calgary (CWUAA) after the tourney. In goal, Chris Nell returns for his second tournament after playing for three teams last year. His battery mate has a familiar last name. He's Jeremy Brodeur, the son of the NHL's recently named Hall-Of-Famer, Marty Brodeur. Brodeur the younger, played for the Allen (TX) Americans last year. His father recently left St. Louis where he was an Assistant GM. He's returned to the New Jersey Devils where he will head the team’s business development department. PLAYERS & COACHES MOVEMENT PLUS HOCKEY NEWS Dan DeSalvo becomes the 17th member of last season's Hartford Wolf Pack roster to sign elsewhere. DeSalvo inks an AHL deal with the Cleveland Monsters. Another ex-Sound Tiger defenseman, Jesse Graham, signs with the Utica Comets. Ex-Pack, Tanner Glass, who split last year between Stockton and Calgary, signs with GHC Bordeaux (France-FREL) for next season. He is the 74th AHL’er to sign for Europe this season. Ex-Pack, and New York Ranger, Ryan “Hollywood” Hollweg has been forced to retire due to a knee injury incurred while playing for HC Plzen (Pilsener) of the Czech Republic Elite League (CEL). It was announced the by the team's GM/Head coach and former Ranger and HC Plzen teammate, Martin Straka. Hollweg played six seasons in the Czech Republic and returned last season after a year off from the knee injury, but despite a contract renewal for this season, the injury’s effects stayed with him. In Hollweg's last pro season, he played 41 games with two goals, amassing just four points, and 87 PIM. Ex-Pack, Josef Balej, leaves Medvescak Zagreb (Croatia-AEHL) to MaHK Zlina (Slovakia-SLEL) Brandon DeFazio, the ex-Sound Tiger, and son of former Nighthawk, Dean DeFazio, goes from Kunlun (China-KHL) to Lukko Rauma (Finland-FEL) Another ex-Sound Tiger defenseman, Chris Lee, officially retires from Metallurg Magnitogorsk (Russia-KHL) and saw his number 4 retired. Adrian Gajor, from Plainville, CT, and last played for the Hartford Jr. Wolf Pack, signs with Cracovia Krakow (Poland-PZIHL). Nick Lukko, a Salisbury Prep grad, signs a one-year AHL deal with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Jarrid Priviters (Gunnery Prep) departs the University of Vermont (HE) and who played a few games with Manchester (ECHL) after his college season ended, has signed with Greenville (ECHL). Ex-Pack, Desmond Bergin, who played in two games on emergency recalls with the Wolf Pack last year, re-signs with Adirondack (ECHL). Former UCONN Husky, Brian Morgan, re-signs with Reading (ECHL).

A Division III player heads to Europe in Tim Santopaolo. He goes from Aurora University (NCHA) to Svegs IK (Sweden Division-2). That makes 197 Division I players who have signed North American pro deals and a grand total of 261 collegiate players have signed North American and European deals. UMASS-Amherst (HE) gets a grad school transfer in Jake Pritchard from St. Lawrence (ECACHL). Julian Pacliero becomes the new assistant coach with UMASS-Lowell (HE). Joe Howe leaves Denver University (NCHC) and takes an assistant coach's position with the University of Alaska (WCHA). Another former Husky, Joona Kunnas, was released in training camp from HC Mulhouse Scorpions (France-FREL) and signed with HC Anglet. Ex-Sound Tiger, Tobias Stephan, has gone from EV Zug (Switzerland-LNA) to HC Lausanne (Switzerland-LNA)  where he signed a three-year deal. Adam Jakopin, the cousin of former Wolf Pack and Beast of New Haven, John Jakopin, goes from Lindenwood University (NAIA), a college club hockey program, to HK Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia-AEHL). Nick Hale, of Salisbury Prep, is a Yale University (ECACHL) commit in 2019-20. He will play this season for the Brooks (AB) Bandits (AJHL) DJ King, the son of ex-Whaler Derek King, leaves the US National Development Team playing in the USHL, to play Canadian major junior with the London Knights (OHL). He has dual citizenship and is eligible to play for either of the two country's WJC team in December. Two more sons of Whalers have entered the organized hockey ranks. Geoff Sanderson’s two boys will be playing US College hockey in the near future. Ben Sanderson from the Okotoks Oilers (AJHL) has committed to Colorado College (NCHC) in 2019-20. His youngest son, Jake, goes from the Canadian prep program at The Edge School (CSSHL) to the US National Development U-17 Team this year. That team plays out of Plymouth, MI. He has given a commitment to North Dakota (Big 10) for 2020-21. A very well-written piece from Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times concerning Jerry Bruckheimer, who along with David Bonderman, is on course to bring the NHL to Seattle. The article stated that it looks like a November presentation to the NHL Board Of Governors (BOG) and likely a December BOG vote on their expansion franchise application. If approved, they will become the 32nd NHL team. That should jibe well with the fact that by that time that vote comes, renovations on the Seattle Key Arena will have begun. Bruckheimer also discussed placing a USHL American Junior A franchise in the new building. The USHL is primarily situated in the American Midwest with no Western state teams at all. While building your brand and the sport in the American Northwest is good, he failed to acknowledge the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds, who have been in the city and the greater Seattle area (now in Kent, WA south of Seattle) for 33 years. The Thunderbirds have built a very strong brand name of their own and have helped grow the sport of hockey at the grassroots level in a city that used to have just an old semi-pro league team in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. There are also three other WHL teams in the state of Washington. One of those three is within an easy driving distance of Seattle. The Everett Silvertips has been in business for 18 years and is North of the city. The Spokane Chiefs have operated for 33 years and are in eastern WA near the Idaho border and a fourth team is in Kennewick, WA near the Oregon border. That team, the Tri-City Americans, have been there for 30 years along with the Portland (OR) Winter Hawks, who make up the US Division of the WHL. The real growth of hockey is currently happening in the American Southwest where Texas, Arizona, and West California, lead the way. Oregon and Washington will try to build upon what has been done over the past 30 plus years in those areas. The NHL has a very important relationship with Canadian major junior hockey and with the governing body, the CHL (Canadian Hockey League). Perhaps some of the BOG will educate Bruckheimer's Seattle Hockey Partners LLC, of that relationship during the courting period. The group needs to be aware and not trample on it during the stampede of euphoria when Seattle gets its NHL team. Read the article HERE. GERLING SCORES CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER AND NAMED MVP The AIHL (Australian Ice Hockey League) Goodall Cup has a new owner, and a former UConn Husky was the hero. The Canberra (CBR) Brave captured their first-ever title winning in overtime after falling short in the final two consecutive years. They have Trevor Gerling to thank for it. At 11:38 of overtime, Gerling was coming as the trailer on the left wing on a three-on-two break. Gerling, in his royal blue uni sporting number 78, was billowing in the back. He took a left-wing drop pass from Wehebe Darge (three assists) and roofed a shot over the right shoulder of Sydney Bears goalie, Anthony Kimlin for their 4-3 title win. The celebration from the packed house was wild at the O’Brien Sports Arena in Melbourne, the yearly hosts of the Grand Final. Ryan Louth had a strong game for Sydney with a goal and two assists. They all came in the second period which allowed the Bears to take a 3-2 lead into the third. Gerling was named the tournament MVP and Canberra, Australia’s capital city was celebrating a major title. The semifinal saw the Canberra (CBR) Brave with Gerling, the league's co-leading scorer with 67 points in 24 regular games played, against the Melbourne Mustangs. The Brave won decisively 5-1 with Gerling scoring two goals and had an assist. Then the Perth Thunder where shut down by the Sydney Bears 3-0 in the other semifinal. CBR set a new AIHL regular season points record in their short season league with 72 points. Gerling was tied for the league's scoring lead with Perth’s Pier-Oliver Grandmaison with 67 points. However, Grandmaison led the league with 43 assists to go along with 34 goals including a hat-trick in the last game of the regular season against the Melbourne Ice in a 6-2 victory. Cheshire’s Rob Malloy and his Newcastle Northstars were knocked out of their chance to capture the fourth and final playoff spot after a 5-4 shootout loss in the second to last game of the season. The game saw Newcastle tally the first two goals in the game and a 3-1 lead in the second period after converting on a five-minute major penalty for a hit to the head. The penalty set off numerous skirmishes for the rest of the period. Newcastle held their lead through the third when Perth mounted a rally to tie the game. Perth won the last game of the year 5-3 to break the tie with 39 seconds in regulation. Malloy finished his sixth AIHL season with 18 assists and 24 points in 25 games. "Not going to lie," said Malloy via e-mail, "I'm pretty happy the season is over. Nothing really worked and it was a pretty frustrating season." He will be involved in international competition when he heads to Queenstown, New Zealand. There he will play in a three-game series next week against the Kiwis where he will catch up with his old pal, Berlin's Adam Blanchette. He will play next year in Serbia for Australia at the IIHF World Championship tournament. Nearby in New Zealand, there is a new Birgel Cup champion. The Southern (Queenstown) Stampede, seeking their fourth straight championship loss to the West Auckland Admirals in a 2-1 championship game win on the road.
