BY JUSTIN MIEZENBEEK

Te Awamutu Sports came within an ace of pulling off a stunning Houdini act against Hamilton Old Boys in Waikato premier rugby. The home team staged a mighty second half comeback, only to suffer a heart-breaking 30-29 loss after missing a last minute penalty goal to win the match at Albert Park on Saturday. Sports dug themselves into an early hole, trailing 20-nil in as many minutes, but shook off an average first half to completely dominate the second spell when looking a different side. The hosts were flat and soft in the opening stanza, allowing Old Boys to score within 60 seconds. The signs were ominous when TC050516SP23 the visitors added a penalty goal LOCK Lui Finau takes the attack to Hamilton Old Boys, with his Te and two further tries in the first Awamutu Sports’ team-mates Esera Esera and Norman Solofa in quarter. support at Albert Park on Saturday.
