I enjoyed reading about the upcoming final that year and can recall that day I thought Woodlands had won it...but
Woodlands were at the top of the table that season and played 4th place team, Marist and the other semi final was between 2nd Place team, Hawkes and 3rd Place - Mataura.

Jeremy Winders watches Brendon Nally feed his backline in their loss to the Hawkes the previous week.
Murray Brown and Paul Cosgrove were the coaches of the newly formed rugby club - Hawkes.  This club was the amalgamation of Pirates Rugby Club and Old Boys Rugby Club.
With their key player, Daniel Pinn out due to concussion against Marist - the Hawkes would be disappointed that they would not be able to field their strongest team.  
Mataura with the likes of Phil Taylor, Keni Fisalau, Aaron Kumara and Ricky Heaps in the backs, and the powerful front row of Brett Roberts, Paul Roberts and talented hooker Tai Leota. Their loosies, Albert Tau, Andy Currie and Uhilla Mafi complement the talented team. 

Eastern Hawkes: Dennis Thompson (Calvin Claridge), Dai Katsuna, Anthony Lafaghi, Shane Erskine, Calvin Claridge (Mark Fairweather), Bryan Milne, Jamie Whelan, Stu Harvey, Dion Bates, David Hall, Steve Jackson, Brendon Timmins, Chris Thompson, Jason Tehuia, Chris Frisby, Mark Protton, Denis Thompson, Cane Irvine, Neville Gawn, Quinton Hibbs, Troy Wilmshurst.
