PIC 2 started the game with a roar, leading from start to finish. The first three quarters PIC dominated, Wellington East 1 who had no answer to the slick midcourt, relentless defence and accurate shooting from Jezrae and Sharnii.
Wellington East came back from a 17-goal third-quarter deficit to make the final score a bit more respectable. (Source Dominion Post).
Deservingly, three of our players picked up the following awards:-
Best Defender - Vaelagi Paulo
Best Midcourter - Ngarama Milner-Olsen
Best Shooter - Jezrae Te Runa-Morehu
MVP - Jezrae Te Runa-Morehu
Congratulations PIC 2, you've done the Club proud!
