With just a one round remaining before the Baywide championship semifinals, Western Bay of Plenty teams appear likely to contest all six Baywide post section playoffs after results were posted on Saturday.

In Premier 2 action, Arataki ran over Marist St Michaels 67-17 in Rotorua to move into third place on the standings. While they play fourth placed Poroporo in the last qualifying round, the Grenada Park based side has already accumulated enough points to book a post-section berth.

In the Division One championship Judea continued their unbeaten run in the second half of the season with a solid 33-21 win over former Premier contender Te Teko.

Rangiuru moved in to second place on the points ladder with a solid 29-18 win against Kahukura, while Papamoa grabbed a place in to the top four after getting past Katikati 17-8 at Gordon Spratt Reserve.

In spite of Eastern Districts going down to Division Two competition leaders Waimana 41-11, they are in third place with a victory against Eastern Pirates next weekend giving them a semifinal berth.

The Development One title will be fought by four Western Bay sides.

Te Puna cemented their place at the top of the standings with a hard fought 16-13 win over Tauranga Sports. Defending titleholders Te Puke Sports posted 74 unanswered points against Rotoiti, while Mount Maunganui were too strong for Greerton Marist winning 40-12.

Rangataua posted their first win of the championship rounds after defeating Whakatane Marist 30-17, in the early attraction at Te Ariki Park.

Greerton Marist Colts and Mount Maunganui Colts both posted wins in the Western Bay of Plenty Senior Reserve competition.
