Also at Ngatangiia will be the first league masters match that has been generating a lot of excitement among 40-plus players keen to show the young ones how league was played back in the day.

The masters league match kicks off at 2.15pm and don’t forget to wear the correct coloured shorts.

Meanwhile at Raemaru Park the raging Arorangi Bears will go head to head with the Tupapa Panthers in what is going to be a bruising encounter.
