The Under 20 girls game was a clash of the number 11's. On one side you had Richelle for Puaikura and on the other you had Jolyn for Takitumu. Between the 2 girls they scored 60% of the total game score but Richelle and her teamates came out with the win. Takitumu had height on their side but could not match the quickness of the Puaikura girls. When Takitumu got into foul trouble and had some players fouled out the game, Puaikura seized their opportunity and pulled away for the win 62-40. Richelle scored a game-high 35pts while Jolyn recorded 26pts.
