The Chiefs answer with quick hands and a few side-step and pure speed as Mike score a try. A few minutes later the chief went on the board again with mike scoring a solo effort try. The halftime score was Blues 5 Chiefs 10. The 2nd half started with high turn over rates and a few contact (we playing two hand touch rugby). On a turn over the blues attack the right side of the field and then shot the ball back to the left to where Mat was waiting to score the blues try. what a great team effort. With both teams tied at 10, the blues Huni then took the ball in his own hands and score 3 solo tries to give the blues a 25-10 lead. The chiefs kept working back to score and were at the 5meter line but never was able to score. With 1 min left in the game Mike score the chiefs final score to fall short.
