Onehunga Won Championship Final vs. Forest Hill  1 nil 
A very tense and well played game with plenty of skill and good quality football preformed by both teams. FH nearly went ahead a few times hitting the wood work twice and once just over the bar, although well covered by Onehunga Goalie of the day Ryan Napper keeping a clean sheet.  Onehunga had numerous attempts on goal but were finding trouble with the small size of the goal and the dexterous FH goalie. In the end it was a combination of absolute solid defence: Harry Merz and William Gillingham, Outstanding mid fielders: Sam Smith, Kris Yovich, Niwa Blair. And always attacking forwards: Thomas McCloy, Sarpreet Singh, Ben Poulter, Aleks Dabek, and guest player Liam Jordan to prevail and win this final on a hot Waikato day.
