Game 4 vs Te Atatu 20th May








After a bad run of weather in recent weeks today was an excellent day for rugby league. Conditions were a little slippery underfoot but the sun was out, the sky was clear and the supporters were looking forward to an exciting game.

From the starting kick off Howick were on fire and scored within the first minute. It seemed this was going to be the pattern for the game, fast and furious. Te Atatu to their credit defended well and made some telling breaks. Relentless pressure by Howick in the first half and carried on into the second half eventually led to Te Atatu's defences cracking. The tide of blue and yellow finally overwhelmed Te Atatu and the final score was 42 points to 4.

Game 3 vs Hibiscus Coast / ECB - 6th May





Well it was quite a trip to Stanmore Bay and playing against the Hibiscus Coast / ECB Raiders at their home ground. However for those that made the trip across the bridge it was well worth it. Another outstanding game of rugby league by the Hornets. Aggresive attack and punishing defense paved the way for a great win. Again it was another of those games where it was hard to keep up with all the action. Final score was 52 points to 10. Match statistics and players of day will follow shortly. Well done Howick Hornets U16. Take a look here for more photos.
