Venue: Seaside Park, Otahuhu

Beachlands Maraetai's winningest team (unofficially but prove otherwise!) was put to the test on Saturday. A combination of solid defence and the world's smallest goals kept the score at nil all at half time. Despite having both the majority of possession and position the Orca's goal was under attack on a couple of occasions in the second half but some gallant goal saving by Kristy "The Krisinator" Attenberger kept the Diamonds scoreless. The deadlock was finally broken by Brooke Knowles fresh on the field after her first half stint in goal. Danielle "Golden Boot" Grimmer put away the 2nd goal soon after, helping keep the nerves of the Orca supporters intact. With the final score at 2-0 the Orca's have maintained their unbeaten record and place at the top of the table with an outstanding 46 goals for and only 2 against. Player of the day was Anna Ross for the massive effort she made throughout the game.
