The Roses showed glimpses of attacking plays however this was met by some strong defence by Ponsonby who was able to stop whatever the Roses threw at them. Forward Quick thinking from Amber Hall had put up a kick which was charged down which saw her regather the ball and shoot off down the right edge linking up with Shee, Shonny & Madison who made her way down the line only to be cut down short of the try line. The following tackle saw Shontelle Woodman dart under the closing defenders to score by the goal post. Conversion was successful to make the score 30-10 to Ponsonby.
