There were moments during the opening period when Otter Lutra threatened to dictate the tempo, but KKASC responded by slowing the game down and reasserting control. Rather than chasing quick attacks, the home side showed patience in possession and gradually wore down their opponents. Once momentum shifted, KKASC began to find space in attack and produced a series of well-worked goals. Defensively the team remained organised and refused to allow Otter Lutra back into the contest. By the final quarter the result was still not secure, yet KKASC handled the pressure well and closed out a valuable 15-9 victory. It was the sort of performance built less on flair and more on maturity, with the side making good decisions throughout a demanding conference fixture.
