Napier butchered that opportunity.

[Stargazer]

Yess, great tackle and turnover from CJ Mienie.

[Stargazer]

So Hamilton has the famous Ollie Mathis (sp) after all.

[Stargazer]

Phew, Napier Boys' have had to make quite a few try-saving tackles, these last few minutes.

[Winger]

Defense for NBH is keeping them ahead

[Winger]

15-5 Napier BH

[Stargazer]

Cory Berkett's penalty goal makes the difference 10 points.

[Winger]

15-12 with Napier just hanging on until the last try. 11 to play

[Stargazer]

Damn. Try to Hamilton.

Shouldn't have come that far, because he should have awarded a penalty to Napier earlier. Gus Brown clearly lifted the ball and it should have been a turnover.

15 - 12 Napier

[Stargazer]

Napier's rush defence forces Hamilton to make a mistake.

[Stargazer]

Hamilton having 67% possesion and 66% territory.

[Stargazer]

Just over 3 minutes to go. What a nailbiter this.

[Winger]

idiotic option from Hamilton Boys from a penalty kick

[Stargazer]

@Winger Yes.

[Stargazer]

Oh f*ck.

[Stargazer]

Damnit. Try Hamilton.

Heartbreaking

[Winger]

Disappointing. Napier Boys f++k it up in the backs

17-15 Hamilton Boys

[Winger]

Excellent 2nd half (missed the first). Napier almost hung on

[Stargazer]

Well played, Napier. This game deserved a draw and shared title. Hamilton had all the possession and territory, but were full of mistakes. Napier made their few chances count and their defence was immense. One little mistake cost them the title.
