The final began with Net Rockers looking the better side as they put together more crisp passes which was not matched by Topp XX early on. But this did not materialize into goals for the Rockers side and soon Topp XX began to counterattack and this paid dividends after a close opening exchange Topp XX rocked the nets.
A ball down the left side was squared across goal and Braithwaite fired passed a dazed Ryan Rose in the 16th minute.
The second goal for Topp XX came in the 25th minute where Charles off of a pass by defender Cleveland Thomas beat the Rockers goalkeeper with a flat shot for a 2-0 lead.
In the 26th minute Topp XX’s Marcel Jansen brought more excitement to the crowd as he passed to Braithwaite who shot and even though Rose got a hand to the ball, the momentum was enough to give the Topp XX side a 3-0 lead.
The second half did not bring either side early goals but Topp XX were coasting when a foul against one of its strikers allowed for a free kick. Taken on the right side by Trenton Lashley, the shot flew past the fingers of Rose and ended up in the net as he was watching his near post in the 91st minute.
