With just two rounds to play in the Bayfair Baywide premier competition, the final four finishing places are still up for grabs.
In what has clearly been an outstanding season so far, not just because of the evenness of the competition but the quality of rugby played, there is bound to be a final twist.
And it may come tomorrow.
Leaders Te Puke were cruising along in the lead until they ran into a Whakarewarewa team intent on maximum damage last Saturday. Te Puke's 17-67 mauling allowed Mount Maunganui and Tauranga Sports to close the gap to three points behind in equal second place, with Whakarewarewa a point further back in fourth.
Greerton Marist's excellent second round form has them three points behind Whakarewarewa in fifth place, and still in contention for a home semifinal if results go their way.
