What should have been a possible win for hosts Havelocks Sports Club was overturned by the gritty and hasty CH&FC, who walked out winners by 27-25 in their second round match of the Dialog Rugby League Championship at Havelock Park today (6).
Havies would have gone into the game with a psychological advantage of claiming the first round win by 31-26, but yesterday it was a total contrast coupled up with a few critical decisions from the referee that went against them.
Putting all their acts together, the Havies made the perfect setting by placing three tries, two conversions and a couple of penalties, to lead the halftime by 25-13.
But that was all they could do as CH totally outran them after the turnaround.
By then the visitors had earned their points through a converted try off prop Henry Terrence and a conversion and a drop goal off the boots of fullback Samuel Maduwantha for their 13 points.
CH then made a brilliant comeback by scoring two converted tries to seal a crucial win.
