Marist started the game off with an early lob shot in the first quarter by tournament stand-out, Nick Paterson. However, that was the first and only goal of the first half for Marist.
Waitakere's Daniel Cameron responded with a strong goal from the left wing during their 6 on 5 attack, and again with a counter attack goal to finish off the quarter leading his team 2-1. Teammamte Isaac Munro went on to score the only goal of the third quarter, to enhance the Waitakere lead even further, seeing 3 Waitakere goals to Marist's 1.
Marist's tactics not enough to pull through with win.
Waitakere's team talk at halftime, leading 3-1.
Waitakere again led the second half with Justin Walsh scoring from the left post, but this time Marist were ready to retaliate. Marist's Theodore Thomson scored the very next possession to see the score difference now at 4-2, still in favour of Waitakere.
Waitakere's attack too strong for Marist.
The fourth quarter was Marist's for the taking. They managed a great comeback to even up the scoreboard with two goals to Max Hood and Nick Paterson, however, it wasn't quite enough for the win. Equal score 4-4 at the end of regulation saw the game go into Penalty Shoot out for the decider.
Waitakere were able to come away with the intense nail-biting win, scoring all five penalty shots by Ah-Tani, Cameron, Vicelich, Walsh and Munro.
Waitakere will play Tauranga A Boys in the Final tonight, 7:30pm at West Wave.
