Round 3 action continues tonight with two games — Whangara v Character Roofing YMP (2) at6pm, followed by Horouta Koura against Gisborne Girls’ High Senior A at 7.30pm.
YMP, heavily beaten by top-of-the-table Turanga FM YMP (1) on Saturday, face another tough day in the office against a Whangara side who nearly caused a boilover against the high-flying YMP (1) recently and beat Girls’ High last week.
YMP (2) were promoted from Premier Reserve grade so it has been a learning curve for them. They have displayed good skills at times but will need to lift to push seasoned Premier opposition such as second-placed Whangara.
Horouta and Girls’ High have shared the honours in their meetings this year.
Both sides have produced competitive performances against higher-seeded teams and will be keen to earn maximum points as they are neck and neck in the middle of the table.
