Warriors clash on Anzac Day

The Takuvaine Warriors will take on the Avatiu Eels at the Swamp tomorrow in what should be a great Anzac Day clash.

The games will kick off after Anzac Day commemorations at the Swamp starting at 2pm.

The under 16 Eels and Warriors will battle first followed by the under 19 grade at 3pm and the reserve grade at 4.30pm.

Games are certainly heating up now with the league season heading into crunch time.

Two more round of games remain before the quarter finals and teams will want to get in to the top four positions for a chance to contest the 2012 league championship trophy.

At the weekend the Warriors premier grade will head to Aitutaki in what should be a massive battle between the bottom two placed teams.

The Sharks have been big improvers this season and the Warriors will want to get a win over the Aitutaki side to make their trip to the island worthwhile.

Other big match ups coming up at the weekend will be between the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles at Ngatangiia and the Bears and Panthers at Victoria Park.

The Eels premier grade are on a bye this week.

All games are crucial and fans can look forward to big hitting and bruising encounters.
