Otane's championship quality came through when it counted as they retained the Hawke's Bay Super 8 netball title with a 51-50 win over All In in Saturday's final.
The reigning champions were playing in their 18th straight title decider and they leant on that experience to overtake All In in the last few minutes.
Each club were allowed to bring 20 supporters to the match under new level 2 conditions, which made for a rowdy atmosphere at Pettigrew Green Arena.
All In scored twice off Otane centre passes early to take a 17-14 at the end of the first quarter.
Their flowing play, with snappy touch passes, drew a marked contrast with Otane's tendency to play more directly with long passes into the circle.
