2005 Shield Finalists

In front of a large crowd, Thomastown United played local rivals East End in the final of the Pat Maher Shield.  Thomastown's goalkeeper, Spike Barcoe, made some superb saves but  Thomastown failed to create many chances in front of goal. A goal just before halftime for East End proved to be the winner, as they triumphed 1-0.
