NELSON BAY SCORE LAST MINUTE NHRU WIN
Well it was wet, it was windy, and it was wild, but Nelson Bay has recorded another win in local rugby, scoring in the final seconds to beat Maitland 24-19 this afternoon.
The conditions were horrendous – the Gropers going above and beyond to help kicker Michael Wiringi, holding the ball in place on the tee.
The Blacks staged a late-fightback before falling agonisingly short.
That keeps the Bay in second on the ladder, still trailing a high-flying Greens outfit, who were big winners over the Students today.
Hamilton piled more pain on Lake Macquarie – in another hammering for the Roos, while the Two Blues edged past Beaches.
