It was the clash of last year’s finalists, St.Hilda’s Primary and Casuarina Primary. The two teams seemed calm and ready for an exciting game. Both teams wondered whether there were improvements in skills since their titanic clash in last year’s final. The game started and within the first 10 minutes, St Hilda’s had scored 2 beautifully worked goals. By the end of the first half, St.Hilda’s had taken a four goal lead. The game was not totally dominated by St.Hilda’s as Casuarina put up a good fight in the second half. That’s how the score ended and both teams sportingly shook each others hands to signify the good fun they had that day.
