Papatoetoe 10 Onehunga High 23

This was a timely wake up call for the Papatoetoe team, that at this stage in the season not being accurate at set piece will be punished. This was certainly the case this week where the Onehunga lineout controlled both their own and Papatoetoe possession. With the little ball that Papatoetoe had they showed that they were more than competitive. At half time Onehunga were ahead 5-3 and the game was in the balance however it was evident that Onehunga were hungrier for the result and they gradually started to pull away. Papatoetoe finished strongly however it was too late to affect the score.

This result leads Papatoetoe into their last home game of the season against Macleans in what will be a must win game for the home team. The destiny of the team is now firmly in their hands, they have shown when they play to their full ability they are amongst the strongest in the competition however they need to be consistent in their performances.
