Memorial Park hosted a couple of thrillers in the latest rounds of senior Waikato rugby, with the Premier A and Colts games going to the wire.
In a rematch of last season’s Breweries Shield grand final, Hautapu hosted Hamilton Marist, and led for most of the game.
But Marist came back with a storming finish to take the match 21-19.
The Colts edged Waikato University 26-24 in an entertaining match that keeps the Hautapu side in second place on the competition table.
Hautapu’s development side lost 60-19 to Marist, while the Women’s Championship side had a bye.
Next weekend, the Premier A and development teams head to Te Awamutu for a battle of Waipa double header.
