They came up against a talented and committed team. The first half was even as both teams defended strongly. The score at half time was 10 – 5 to the home side. Unfortunately St Paul's struggled in the second half – a lack of match fitness saw tackles missed and poor choices made. This allowed TeKuiti/Piopio to run away with the match winning 46 – 5. Tom Seuren was the pick of the St Paul's players.
