For the first few minutes of the game it was back and forth, with both teams pressing hard and defending well. The score at the end of the first quarter was 6-6.
Kayla Deant did a fantastic tip from the circle edge, turning the ball over to her team, which swung momentum.

The fourth quarter saw some lovely long shots by Tiriti Thomas (Redwyns). Her team-mate, Julie Lyall, had a strong debut.
