2 big games

Two massive games of rugby league will be played today when the Avatiu Eels host the Tupapa Panthers at the Swamp and the Ngatangiia-Matavera Sea Eagles host the Arorangi Bears at Nukupure Park.

The Eels and Panthers both share 17 points and one will be on top after today.

The Eels are always hard to beat on home ground but the Panthers have been in top form of late and are never to be underestimated.

At Nukupure Park visitors the Bears will want to maintain their dominance over the Sea Eagles who sit on 10 points with the Bears just ahead of their rivals on 13 points.

Both the Sea Eagles and Eels club rooms will be open for business tonight with a huge night of entertainment, string bands and H-Factor contestants lined up for the evening after the games.
