The game was described in The Dominion as entertaining with a number of chances, as was reflected by the scoreline, which was 2–2 at full time. The first goal came from Stewart Dempster for YMCA, but Wattie Hanlin equalised before the half-time interval. In the second half Seacliff went into the lead through Bill Hooper, who became the first player to score in two separate finals, having previously scored in Seacliff's 1923 win. this time it was YMCA who equalised with a second goal from Dempster. Dave Halley grabbed the winner for the Wellington side early in the first period of extra time.Hilton Tony Smith Barry An Association with Soccer: The NZFA Celebrates Its First 100 Years 1991 New Zealand Football 978-047301291567 Results October 2021 Qualifying Rounds Auckland Qualifiers #eeeeee 30 May 1925 North Shore 3 –1 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19250601.2.139.4 Northcote Palmer ×2, Woolley W.
