The winners were Taupiri B much to the delight of the local surpportters, they played Morrinsville B in the final. Taupiri president Peter Thompson was in the winning team. Taupiri were behind on the score board for 90% of the 4 chukker match. Morrinsville B ‘s Luke Reed and Tom Hunt were doing all the scoring. It took a huge effort from the Taupiri B team to come from behind to even up the scores early in the final chukker and then Harry Tucker scored the goal that put Taupiri in front to win.
