Panthers and Warriors rumble today

The only premier grade league game today will be the battle between the Tupapa Panthers and the Takuvaine Warriors at Victoria Park starting at 5pm.

But there’s plenty of league action all afternoon as the Ngatangiia Sea Eagles club host the Avatiu Eels grades except for the premier grade.

The Eels premier grade is on a bye and the Sea Eagles senior team took on the Aitutaki Sharks yesterday afternoon.

Earlier in the week the Bears and Bulldogs played out their games.

Action at Nukupure Park in Ngatangiia starts at 12.30pm with the under 13 grade.

The under 13 grade also gets the Panthers and Warriors battle for the afternoon underway at 12.30pm at Victoria Park. At 2.30pm the masters division will play out their match at Nukupure Park in what should be an entertaining encounter. - MW
