Hastings back on attack. Damn it stop kicking the ball away.

Again fortunately, Palmy penalised.

Hastings scrum.

[Stargazer]

Pick n go. Now a Hastings penalty. They're going again.

Come on boys!

Sheesh, I'm getting more of a Chiefs vibe with all these pick and goes and no try.

And as I write that they score.

[Stargazer]

Cross kick, it was close, but no try.

Penalty Hastings ... There they go again. They deserve that try.

Yess, try time!!

[Stargazer]

Please, make that conversion ...

[Stargazer]

Not even close.

13 - 12 Palmy.

[Stargazer]

Dumb mistake, kicking the ball out on the full from outside your 22.

Palmy line-out in Hastings' 22.

Palmy on attack now.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' clearing kick. They really should stop doing that.

Palmy knock on. Hastings kick the ball away again. Palmy penalty on their 22.

[Stargazer]

The commentary is biased as.

[Stargazer]

Hastings line-out. Still in their half.

[Stargazer]

Overthrown, but still in possession.

Hastings' kick charged down, but they keep possession.

Now a penalty. Knock-on Hastings. Too close to their try line.

[Stargazer]

Palmy scrum.

[Stargazer]

Hastings penalty. They're finally going for a run. Time's up, so they can't kick it away anymore.

[Stargazer]

Advantage Hastings. Penalty at halfway.

Going for the line-out.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' line-out on Palmy's 22.

Going for the pick n go. Patience boys.

[Stargazer]

Argghh, knock on.

Palmy kick it out. Game over.

Bugger.

FT: Palmy 13 - 12 Hastings

[Nepia]

Palmy Boys celebrate before the final whistle. 🤣

[Stargazer]

With better decision-making, Hastings could have won it.

[Stargazer]

For completeness, the enitrely predictable annihilation of St John's in the CNI:

St Paul's 46 - 5 St John's

[Stargazer]

By the way, Palmy won because of their penalties. Hastings scored 2 tries against Palmy's 1. Unfortunately, not more than a losing bonus point as a reward.
