Both New South Wales City and Country sides showed outstanding sportsmanship by forming a circle together in the pool before the match and doing their notorious "New South WALES" cheer.
Country's R. Mulligan opened the scoring off a 6 on 5 attack. B. Artemi and C. Negus responded with a goal each for NSW City to take the scores to 1-2 heading into the second quarter.
Country's #4 L. Mackaway made up for an exclusion in the best possible way - scoring a goal down the other end to equalise, 2-2. S. Narigle slotted another goal for Country to push them out to a 3-2 lead. NSW City's Negus put another tally next to his name and brought the score to 3-3.
An exclusion on Mackaway saw NSW City's S. O'Shea score in the last two seconds of the half to make it 3-4 in favour of New South Wales City.
Country got the most out of the half-time break with Mackaway scoring a quick goal to bring the score to 4 a piece. An exclusion each from both teams saw no goals, until Country's C. Morgan capitalised on a 6 on 5 opportunity to take the score to 5-4.
2 goals for NSW (L. Rayner, C. Negus) in the last minute of the quarter saw NSW City take the lead heading into the final five minutes of the final.
NSW Country squandered a man-up attack, then #13 C. Morgan was excluded resulting in City coach M. Holden calling a time out. Holden settled his team and ran them through the play.
The boys took the water, the ball swung from wing to wing and S. O'Shea scored a ripper past Country final-quarter-goalkeeper C. Walter.
3 more time outs led to no goals, and New South Wales City were elated at the sound of the final whistle - they had taken the 2014 Pack-a-Goal Panasonic Pan Pacific Under 16 Boys' Championship.
