The 3rd quarter was again hotly contested with SPC not able to break free from the GYC pressure . The game broke open in the last quarter with SPC kicking 4 goals to 1 to run out 44 point victors and taking out their first SATIS 1st XVIII premierships since 2017 as well as completing the Boys 1sts & 2nds premiership double for 2022.

GYC took their opportunities in the 2nd quarter taking a 23 to 0 lead into half time. SOC came out firing in the third quarter and hit the scoreboard with the first 2 goals of the second half but were unable to keep the momentum going as GYC ran out 32 point winners after sharing the 2021 premiership with Marist. Georgia Clark & Bellah Parker kicked 2 goals each for GYC while Ruby Hall & Harriet Bingley were the goalscorers for SOC)
