Parihaka kept their cool to take a 2-1 win over Kamo High School in their reserve A women's hockey match.
Kamo High School began the game strongly but were unable to convert any opportunities early in the game.
Parihaka coach Strachan McLeod said "they came out and played a way better grade of hockey and we didn't do ourselves any favours with trapping and passing."
Parihaka withstood the pressure and did take their chance on attack with Jacque Chapman converting to put Parihaka ahead in the Friday night match.
McLeod said "going one up put the wind in our sails and we started playing better hockey".
