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!

[Stargazer]

Hamilton Boys - by earning a bonus point in this game - have done enough to get a spot in the final next week.

But this time, they'll be the visitors in the Final, not the hosts!

@stargazer Interesting to see that the Jaffas can only front with four on the bench.

[Stargazer]

@higgins Yes, Lindisfarne seems to be struggling to fill their team sheet the last few weeks, especially the jersey numbers higher than 16. I recognise most names in the starting XV, so the problems are mostly in the reserves, I think.

I don't think the reserves 17 - 19 are even regular squad members; maybe players from their 2nd XV?

[Stargazer]

The game has started.

Hastings line-up according to Tribe:

[Stargazer]

Phew. Almost a try to Hamilton. Fortunately, the fullback threw the ball into touch.

[Stargazer]

Scrum very close to Hastings try line.

[Stargazer]

Yikes. Penalty Hamilton.

[Stargazer]

New scrum. Now Hamilton feed.

[Stargazer]

Great defence. Hamilton knock on.
