Wondai Wolves’ veterans who turned up for the rugby league club’s annual “Old Boys” celebration went home happy last Saturday.
The Wolves fought back in the second half of their A Grade game to score a tight 24-20 win over the Cherbourg Hornets at Wondai Sportsground.
The Wolves were ahead 14-6 at half-time but the Hornets scored three quick tries after the break to take the lead, 20-14.
But with 20 minutes to go, Alex Georgetown converted his own try and levelled the scores at 20-all.
And then 10 minutes later, the Wolves’ Luke Hedges broke the deadlock to score in the corner.
