As usual in the cut-throat world of Lightning, it was a world of swindles and cheap shots, with quite a few players in with a chance till the very end. Congratulations are due to Jeeva, the very talented Queensland Junior who came, saw and conquered with an amazing 10/11. Fabian and Eddy tied for 2nd. Monty and Christian shared the ratings prize; and Himash was the Top Junior.
