In a very unexpected turn of events the Northern Lights had to play 24 minutes in the last quarter and kick the winning golden point to overcome a tenacious Fiji Vonu.
The reigning champions had been held goal-less until the better half of the last quarter.
Both teams were welcomed by a somewhat sunny and only reasonably cold weather.
Canada won the toss and proceeded to kick with a noticeable breeze.
The Canadians and most independent onlookers presumed that this would be a good warm-up hit-out for the world champions.
The idea from the Canadians was to push the advantage from the very onset and that’s what happened.
Aimee Legault #10 laid a huge tackle and the ball was pushed into attack.
Fiji Vonu women’s lost the match 15-16.
