Game 5 vs Glenora 3rd June

Every now and then a game can take on a life of its own, a keen spectator can become a crazed fan, a try or goal scored with time running out can take on a whole new meaning. Even before the kick off I noticed both teams eyeing each other up tentatively. This was going to be one of the games of the season.

Howick started well and scored first. Good pressure by Howick and a clean break and Howick were up by 10. Glenora came back well and scored and converted the score 10 – 6. By half time Howick were ahead 16 to 6. If the 1^st half belonged to Howick the second half was nearly all Glenoras. Outstanding attack with Glenoras forwards laying the platform led to several tries and Glenora taking the lead late in the game 22 -20.

However Howick showed why they are such a good team and came back almost in the last minute to take the game and win 24 to 22. Well done to both teams a great game of rugby league.
