Very good thinking from Flanders who made a great break and could have gone to score the try himself, but passes the ball to his team mate Troydyn Bird to score under the sticks!
The try is converted and Hastings Boys win the game 19 to 17 after being 17 to 10 down.

@Stargazer
The standard of goalkicking is rather varied. Have just finished watching my grand daughters team win 25 - 05 and they missed (very badly) all five conversions most of which were from directly in front! Maybe you just assumed a kick would have gone over, but was somehow fluffed, and added the scores in anticipation? -

The standard of scorekeeping has been fairly shoddy at times as well so neither scenario would surprise me.

@delicatessen It's not the first time, either. A few years ago the same thing happened; don't remember whether it was Napier or Hastings Boys, but the mistake wasn't in their favour and affected their day 2 draw.

@delicatessen Welcome to the Board. There are only about half a dozen of us diehard HB supporters on here so the more the merrier. We are extremely passionate about our area, teams and home bred players (even if they play elsewhere, but not when they are up against our teams of course!). We do take a bit of stick on here from time to time but don't let that put you off supporting HB!

@Higgins thanks!
Yep born and bred Bay boy so definitely a supporter.
I'm an extremely sporadic interwebz user so don't expect much. -
@delicatessen You should drop by more often as this site is a bit of an institution and somewhat addictive with many traditions etc going back a number if years that have to be kept up! Come ITM Cup time we also have a HB Tipping Team that takes on allcomers in a teams competition run on this board. We usually do really well but tripped up badly and only come home in a miserable 6th place last season. Maybe you would like to make yourself available for selection come NPC time as we might need some new talent next season!
