With less than two minutes remaining to half time New South Wales had an opportunity to go 2-1 up, however were unable to convert, keeping the score level at half time.

In the opening minutes of the second half was intense as both teams tried to claim possession. New South Wales were able to score their second for the match and a short time later followed this up with their third goal, Claire McGarity’s second for the match and held off Victoria to secure victory and the championship.
