"He's come up from reserves and he's quite the find. He knows where the goal is," he said.
Springfield scored first in the match when Cameron Lindsay converted a penalty corner awarded right on the quarter time break.
Maungakaramea played more to their own game plan in the second quarter and struck back when Cameron Hellier drew the scores level midway through the second quarter.
Maungakaramea have had plenty of finals experience and Webb said that combined with showing some grit that was the difference in Saturday's match.
"The boys were biting down a bit on their mouth guards and that's what you have to do in a final," he said.
In the premier women's final, Old Girls showed their class beating Whangarei Girls' High School 3-1.
Playing a varied attacking formation to try and outwit their competitors, Old Girls attacked down the left and managed to get on the board 10 minutes in when Josefina Maratea converted.
Girls' High fought back and drew level when Aimee-Leigh Scott tapped one in off the post.
Maratea then added to her impressive performave with her second goal of the night.
The goal was right on the stroke of half time, giving Old Girls a lead at the break that they wouldn't relinquish.
Girls' High had plenty of chances to get back into the contest during the second half, but couldn't break through the defence of their more senior opponents.
It was Laura Douglas who topped a brilliant finals performance for Old Girls, converting a penalty corner in the final quarter of the match to give her side the 3-1 buffer and ultimately the win.
Old Girls' coach Alan Lints says his side's ability to adjust and stay composed was a huge advantage in the high pressure match.
"It was the young, enthusiastic and nervous versus the old heads and that was always going to be tough for them," he said.
"We always think about when we're going to get the ball and know there'll be more opportunities and when we get those opportunities we have to convert them, and we did that today."
