Defence was the key in the opening exchanges as the Watford backline and goalie Jeremy Rotenberg snuffed out any Manchester attacks.

Into the second quarter and a couple of early majors allowed Manchester to close the gap at 5-3 but coach Steve Chambers called a 60 second time-out to settle the boys and pass on some instructions and this did the trick as the team scored five unanswered goals to extend their lead to 9-3 with the goals coming via Twin brother David Guzijan who scored a hat-trick of penalties, another goal from Luka and with Noah O'Sullivan also finding the back of the Manchester net.

Manchester hit a late goal to close out the first half with Watford leading by five at 9-4.

An early major gave Manchester a Man-up and they scored for 9-5 but another two penalties converted again by David Guzijan had his side 11-5 up a double from Luka his 38th goal of the tournament and another goal from Noah saw Watford extend their lead at the end of the 3rd period to 14-5.

The final period started with Manchester winning a major foul but Watford defended resolutely to keep Manchester out and turning defence into attack the team went up the other end and won their sixth penalty of the game and this time Haru Gnjatovic converted for 15-5.

Manchester scored with 1.55 remaining on the clock for 15-6 but another penalty conceded by Manchester allowed Haru to get his second of the final as Watford finished the game 16-6.
