“Both coaches were looking to say farewell to the NWFL in fine form via this "pride at stake" game.

In the snowy northern climate it was Dallas who performed better on the day. Although their Wizard made little impact, they managed to get multiple Diving Tacklers coupled with a Prehensile Tail on the ball carrier during the first drive. Combined with North West's inability to incapacitate the Skinks, this led to a turnover and opening score for Dallas.

In the second half Dallas again scored due their superior speed down the right flank. North West were unable to retort as the match came to a close at 2-0.

Said coach Hayati, "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow coaches for a very entertaining season with the NWFL. It has been a pleasure playing each and every one of you and I wish you all the very best for the future."”
