Canterbury secure sixth title while Tasman bring home their first

  The Canterbury Beavers have secured their sixth National Seniors title with a hard fought 3-1 win over a determined North Harbour side. North Harbour hit the front early before the Beavers managed to tie the game up just before the half.

The Floyd Shield was taken home for the first time by Tasman after they came from behind to finish strongly against the Tauranga/Bop side. In front of a jubilant home crowd the Tasman Women managed to overcome this as they would produce an outstanding and composed performance.
