Amateur RL: Winger Richard Aka whips up a Storm

Jun 23 2009 by Peter Barrow, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

After a tight first half the second period turned into a procession and the parade started with hooker Gary Keegan going in under the posts and Bellas added the goal.

Bellas was to close with a tally of six goals from eight attempts as the tries began to roll in with regularity.

Aka was next to touchdown from a flowing move before Lee St Hilaire scampered over and then Aka completed his treble with a run into acres of clear space.

The finishing touch was provided by substitute Neopoleoni Navaka when he burst through a tackle to score.
