STL Round 7

Both Pukeko teams recorded strong victories in their top of the table clash in round seven of the Singapore Summer Touch League. Not even thunder, lightening, rain or sprained limbs could stop the Pukeko machine from rolling.

OMD Pukeko Men played the 6Pack for the second time - starting off slowly to take the half 2-1.
Tries to Devon and Jonesy from slicing Ben Ting runs. It was a torrid affair with both teams running hard at each other- Defense was tenacious and the sun was beating down like a slab of concrete falling from the sky.
Bao, Bus and Mo contributed immensely to take the team out of the half with some big runs.
Greg would seal the game with an arching run and a try to Jonestown to finish off the scoring 4-3. The mens team is building nicely and confidence is at an all time high.

MVP- Ben Ting
Tries - Jonesy (2), Dev, Greg

Pukeko Mixed would run out 7-3 winners over Mixed Rivals Brotown. In a wet weather mud battle Pukekos would run in some awesome individual tries - to Tony Barone, Dan Rubber Man and Laser Lixin.

Haseena shutdown the attacking weapons of Brotown with two huge defensive plays. Again the Pukeko ladies proved to be the difference on D making try saving touches.

MVP - Has
Tries - Dan, Lixin, Tony, Gobbo, Ben, Esther, Has.

STL Weekend Round 5 Recap

OMD Pukekos battled a determined and fast improving Bucks Mens team in round 5 of the STL. Taking the competition points Pukeko avenged their first round loss to the Bucks with an 8-7 win.
Pukeko now move into First equal place with Bucks and look to rack up some tries in the coming weeks as the competition heads into the final stages.
The first half was a try scoring fest with Pukeko taking the half up 6-5. Defense was exposed on the fringes and that was to be remedied in the second half with the defense tightening up !

Tries - Simon Gobbo, Greg Somers (2), Huffer, Alvinia, Lixin
MVP - Alvinia Ow and Greg Somers - Scoring the only try of the second half a half break and diving endzone touchdown!

OMD Pukeko Mixed settled into a fun mixed round vs RP. It was a comedy or errors and slippery soapy balls being dropped left right and centre. Pukekos came out 14-0 ontop with the try and play of the game going to our star winger - Alvinia! Running hard off a flat ball from Penny, Alvinia dashed 35m to dive in and score in the corner with some hot defense chasing her!

Tries - too many to count ! Pukeko FUN !
MVP - Huffer - because he didnt drop the ball after his 50 m run down the sideline and dive for the tryline!
