League battles today will be at Raemaru Park and Tupapa field with two tough match ups in store for fans.

At Tupapa field, defending champions the Tupapa Panthers will go head to head with the Titikaveka Bulldogs in what should be an interesting math up.

On paper both teams are evenly matched and it will all come down to game day today.

The Bulldogs have been on a winning rampage so far while the Panthers have only had one loss and will want to make that their last too, no doubt.

Both teams boast talented club and import players for what should be a dynamic battle at Victoria Park.

Meanwhile at Raemaru Park – the new Avatiu Eels import players will make their debut for the club while Arorangi will be boosted by their vocal supporters on home ground.

This should be a bruising encounter and generally sparks fly when these two rival clubs lock horns.
