Four teams, two spots

HOOK AND HOLD: Ngatapa winger Manaia Ngata grasps the leg of Waikohu opposite KC Wilson in the first semifinal of the Poverty Bay premier club rugby competition at Rugby Park. The strong-running Wilson was among the tryscorers in defending champions Waikohu's 64-5 win.

The Poverty Bay club rugby season is expected to come to an explosive end on Saturday when Waikohu meet YMP in the grand final at Rugby Park. The teams have clearly established themselves as the top two, with Waikohu winning round 1 and YMP round 2, including a victory over the men from Te Karaka. Both teams like to give the ball air but predicted rain over the week may have a say. Waikohu put away Ngatapa 64-5 in their semifinal while YMP accounted for OBM 22-7.
