Northland got its Mitre 10 Cup campaign back on track with a close 24-20 win over Counties Manukau in Pukekohe this evening.

Both teams scored three tries apiece but Northland No 10 Jack Debreczeni converting all tries unlike Counties made the difference in the end.

Great hands led to the first try of the match in the 18th minute scored by Taniwha halfback Jono Kitto.

The hosts replied minutes later through New Zealand 7s star Sione Molia but Josh Goodhue scored Northland's second try before wing Jordan Hyland wriggled through a gap to score his team's third.

Fotu Lokotui and Tony Pulu also got on the scoreboard for Counties.
