Home semi and pride all that's left to play for in Northland Premier Rugby

Waipū's premier team, seen here against Hora Hora, will need to win at Hikurangi today to guarantee a home semi final next weekend in the Bayleys Premier (Joe Morgan Memorial) rugby Competition.

The top four is locked in for the Bayleys Premier (Joe Morgan Memorial) Competition going into the last round of games, but three teams are still vying for the last two semi spots in the Premier Reserves.

Kamo has locked in top spot in the Prems ahead of today's final round of games and guaranteed a home semifinal next weekend, but the battle to be the other semifinal host is all that still need to be worked out.

Kamo have finished with 83 points in the Prems after Otamatea defaulted both of tomorrow's game against Kamo.

Waipū is second in the Prems with 61 followed by Old Boys Marist on 59 and Hora Hora on 58. Waipū will need to win today away to Hikurangi to guarantee a home semi, but if it looses a win to OBM at Kerikeri would see it go second, while if OBM loses too a win to Hora Hora at home to Western Sharks would see it host the second semifinal.

In the Prem Reserves Kamo has again romped to top spot with 82 points after 18 games with Mid Northern getting the other home semi with 62 points.

But the fight for third and fourth place will go down to the wire with OBM, 55 points, Wellsford, 52 and Kerikeri, 51 points, all in with a chance.
