Ref totally missed a H'ton knock on in that line-out. They're trying to score off the pick 'n go.

[Stargazer]

Now he sees the knock on! Hastings scrum, close to their try line.

[Higgins]

@stargazer Obviously he was playing advantage.

[Stargazer]

@higgins No, there was a new knock on.

[Stargazer]

Good defence from Alex Dickey (?) prevents a H'ton try.

[Stargazer]

Awesome clearing kick from Stephenson. He's having a good game.

[Stargazer]

Hamilton's openside scores a beautiful try. Pretty average defence from Hastings there. Hamilton's kicker misses the conversion.

13 - 18 to Hastings, with less than 10 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Lot's of noise from the crowd, but couldn't see what was happening because the camera was still looking the wrong way.

[Stargazer]

Long conversation between Cooper Flanders (captain) and the ref. Cooper now talking to his squad.

They're all clapping, including the crowd. Did an injured player leave the field? Fire the camera man!

[Stargazer]

Haha, that was awesome. H'ton on attack, in a big tackle they lose the ball, and Hastings big LH prop goes for a run. And with big, I mean BIG. It was a funny sight. They stopped him, but give away a penalty.

Hoera Stephenson kicks for goal and ... misses. The crowd is cheering.

It's still 13 - 18 to Hastings.

[Stargazer]

Phew, Hamilton almost scores in the corner but again Dickey with the try-saving tackle. Hastings line-out.

[Stargazer]

I've a bad feeling.

[Stargazer]

It's been all Hamilton these last few minutes. Scrum close to the Hastings try line, right in front of the sticks. If H'ton score, they'll win, because it will be an easy conversion.

[Stargazer]

Time's up, by the way.

[Stargazer]

Held up. But new Hamilton scrum.

[Stargazer]

Turnover, Hastings kicks for touch. But game continues with Hamilton line-out. Isn't it full time yet?

[Stargazer]

Hastings steal the line-out!

[Stargazer]

Hastings turnover, right in the middle of the field. Ref still doesn't end the game.

[Stargazer]

Hastings line-out on Hamilton's 22 (I think).

[Stargazer]

Yesssssssss, full time!

Hamilton Boys 13 - 18 Hastings Boys.

Hastings Boys top the table and host the final. Brilliant!
