“Kowhai's defence will have to be really on song to keep them out,” Scragg said.
He felt the men's game tonight should see Boys' High bounce back from their loss last week.
“If the students can play like they did in the first half last week against the Fruits, then they should win it.
“However, the old heads in the Masters will provide them with a challenge.”
At 12.30pm Saturday GMC Green play Amber Dental Gisborne Girls High School.
“That should be a good close tussle,” Scragg said.
“The Green Machine just snuck home last week against Ngatapa, and the Girls High team can push them too.”
It will be YMP and Ngatapa on the turf from 2pm Saturday.
“That's the biggest test of the round for the Ngatapa team.
“YMP have been playing beautiful hockey and will be tough to contain,” he said.
The men get to use the turf next at 3.30pm with YMP B in action against Waituhi.
“That should be an all-the-way win for Waituhi.
“They need the maximum points to stay in touch with YMP A and the Fruits, so no doubt they will go out strong.”
The final match at 5pm will definitely be a case of saving the best till last.
The game between YMP A and Lytton Old Boys NZ Fruits will be the game of the weekend.
“That's certainly fair comment,” Scragg said.
“Both those teams have been playing constructive and effective hockey, and head to head they should produce a really entertaining game.
“The pressure will be on the Fruits to pick up the maximum points.”
