NWU Pukke took on Hamiltons in the final of the SAA Club Championship, held at Loftus today. Hamiltons won a nail-biter 36 / 34.

Hamiltons with very litle possession held on to win, with dogged defence. The difference was that Hamiltons used EVERY opportunity to score when in striking range.

Pukke gave away far too many penalties within kicking range.

The match was full of action with 6 tries from Pukke and 3 tries from Hamiltons.

Dustin Jinka, the Hamiltons had a wonderful day with the boot, slotting 3 conversions and 5 penalties.

Well done to both teams!
