2 May:  After some pretty tough games last weekend where our Carlton Party Hire NHWP Snr Women went down 6-12 to Marist before recovering then recovered with a 12-5 win over Maranui, they continued with their winning ways over Hutt Women last night with a pretty rugged but solid 15-4 win.  Awesome Polo!!!.  CLICK HERE

Last weekend our Snr Men sponsored by Keith O'Hanlon Painting Services had a great 7-4 win over Marist but were held to a 6-6 draw by Maranui.  Last night they bounced back with an awesome 7-6 win in the final 19sec of the game.  After leading for the entire game then letting their 5-3 lead slip, it looked like their were destined for another draw when Hutt equalised with 2:31 to go.  But they were not giving up.  After giving away possession, Scott Taylor reclaimed the ball with a classic steal, followed by the perfect assist from Dave Broome to Finn Lowery on the post, who put the winning goal away with 19sec left on the clock.  Final score 7-6 to North Harbour!!!!  Well done guys and welcome back Shaun Hotchkiss!!!
