“The Storror Chase Off™” took place at Trinity Buoy Wharf on 18 December 2016 and featured 4 teams in a tournament style chase off.
The first Semi Final was Storror .v. Marrero Gang in a single set, 16-chase match, which ended with Marrero Gang taking the win 2-0.
The second Semi Final was The Untouchables .v. Fade and in the dramatic final chase of the set, Teige Mathews-Palmer managed to squeeze out an evasion to give Fade a 1-0 victory.
The final was contested by Merraro Gang .v. Fade in a best of 3-sets match with each set consisting of 10 chases. The first set saw Fade take first blood, but Marrero Gang came back to win the set 2-1. The second set ended in a nervous 0-0 draw and in the second round of the tie-break Merraro Gang claimed victory to win the match 2 sets to 0.
