Robertson and Elliot Levine took the court with the pennant in the balance and blitzed their Lilydale opponents 3-1 to wrap up the match, sparking celebrations.
The Maccabi side dominated the decider, winning two of a possible three rubbers and seven of 11 games Coach Jodie Cashmore was delighted with the win, as was the small but vocal group of supporters who turned out to support the trio.
