Not very often you see 1st and 2nd ranked teams both lose semi finals.

Means it’s a good healthy competition IMO.

[Bovidae]

@Gunner Yes, it is good. TV got upset last week by H-K so would have finished 2nd with the win. They'll get the home final now.

Is there a livestream anywhere of today's Meads Cup final?

[Bovidae]

@NTA I don't think so.

Helluva game at Boyd Park. Stoked to be able to get to a Heartland grand final. Great vibe in the crowd.

The good Guys win!

Would have been a great day to be there with a mate of mine who lives in TA

@Yeetyaah Good stuff. I did see a guy in the crowd wearing a Waikato jersey.
