Pakuranga United Rugby Club’s premiers have fallen to an in-form Suburbs side despite a fighting come back in the second half.
The prems lost 24-19 having trailed 2-16 at the break.
“Yes it was a close game but unfortunately we fell short,” said premieres coach Pita Alatini.
“I couldn’t fault the effort by our lads as they dug deep in difficult situations to give us a chance to win the game.
“We made crucial errors again and when you play a quality side like Suburbs you will pay the consequence.
The prems came away with a valuable point which keeps the side in touch with the top teams.
“However we will turn our attention to Eden at home this weekend which we have to win.”
