Manakau were on top throughout the game, and scored early on when Mike Urlich side-footed home a cross from Atain Halley, but for the rest of the match found young Waikanae goalkeeper Sam Adams a tough man to beat.
The back four were keeping Waikanae quiet with Kimbal McHugo and Mark Tiumalu-Faleseuga keeping very tight while both Chris Templeton and Wille West were using the flanks well to add some pace into the attack.
A second half goal from Halley after good build-up work by James Hoskins gave Manakau a two-goal lead, but try as they might Manakau could not get a 3rd goal as Urlich, Hoskins, Halley and Paul Kulhavy all had goal-bound efforts superbly saved by the busy Adams who picked up the man of the match award for his efforts.
Waikanae kept trying and pulled a goal back just before the end of the match, but Manakau had done just enough to claim the win.
