Despite the morning rain, the game played fast and clean with Staples jumping out in front after stealing a Hoya ruck inside the Prep 22 and scoring an unconverted try. Prep bounced back when senior vice captain Quinn Long chipped over the Staples defense and played some footy for about 40 meters before touching down for a try, which he converted. Staples once against pressured Prep into an error by charging down a clearance kick which led to a Wreckers 5-meter scrum and a converted try after several phases at the goal line. Prep countered shortly thereafter with senior wing Tommy Brown returning a Staples clearance kick for a try, also converted by Quinn Long. At the half it was Prep 14, Staples 12.
