OMD Pukeko Results Round 10



Round 10 saw OMD Pukeko Mixed battle Teh Tarik in a close encounter in the last round of the Summer League. With a very laboured first half the Pukekos went into the second half looking to refocus and re-energise their game. With vigour and passion - Pukekos stormed to score 3 tries within the final 7 minutes to snatch a 7-6 win from the jaws of defeat.
The biggest play coming from Alvinia and Derelyn. With the defense stretched they moved the ball from left to right going through all six players. Derelyn making a superb long pass to Alvinia on the outside and then supporting the inside ball - where Alvinia delivered a superb pass for Derelyn to score under intense defensive pressure. And a huge cheer on the sideline as Alvinia aeroplaned down the field!

Thanks to support from the Pukekos on the sideline cheering the team on and sharing in the victory!
