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!
