The Blues suffered the heartbreak last year of dom- inating the final but being un- able to put the ball in the net and ultimately losing out in a penalty shoot-out. However, they put this dis- appointment behind them, despite being limited through injuries to a squad of just nine players, thereby having no substitutes available throughout a gruelling tour- nament of eight 25-minute games in two days.
