Top of table teams clash

Two ‘must see’ rugby league matches will be played today guaranteeing spectators an action packed afternoon.

Next door neighbours the Titikaveka Bulldogs and Ngatangiia-Matavera Sea Eagles will go head to head in what should be a fiery affair.

The Bulldogs will want to build on the winning momentum that has put them in the number two spot on the points table while the Sea Eagles will be all about getting their train back on track.

The Sea Eagles are currently in fifth place on the table after a couple of close losses.

There won’t be any love lost in this match either as the 2012 season has seen a shift of players between the two clubs.

The second must-see match today is between the in-form and top of the table Tupapa Panthers and defending champions the Avatiu Eels.

The Eels sit in third spot on the table and would love to topple the Panthers but it will be a big ask as the Panthers have shown well honed skills and patience that will be hard to beat plus they have the added advantage of playing on their home ground today.

Get down to your club field and support your team – it could make all the difference between winning and losing. - MW
