The U19s had a hard fought victory today against Otago 15-13.

At half time the Don Ha Under 19's were down and playing into a strong wind 6-5. Alex Tuiloma scored the try.

Petelo Ikenasio scored a try which was converted by Josh Baverstock as well as adding a penalty.

The team had to dig deep with only 14 players after a sin bin which Otago capitalised to score and bring the score to within 2.

After gaining our full complement the team defended exceptionally well for the last nervous few minutes to close the game out 15-13.

We will now play Hawkes Bay on Wednesday at 2.15 pm in the semi final of the Micheal Jones Cup.
