The feature match at the Colombo Rd courts tomorrow will be between Wairarapa College and Makoura College with the former knowing a win will virtually guarantee them a semifinal spot and the latter knowing a loss will jeopardise their chances of doing likewise.
Both teams go into the game on the back of winning form, Wairarapa College having upset Pioneer Blue 38-33 last weekend and Makoura having a 10-goal victory over Baywide Gladstone 35-25. What makes tomorrow's clash intriguing is the evenness of the sides right through the court and a close finish seems assured.
Pioneer Blue will be desperate to bounce back to winning form, and keep their semifinal hopes alive, when they take on Carterton New World Lynx but the latter have been going great guns lately and will be no push-overs.
A battle royal is also expected between St Matthew's Collegiate and Carterton New World Legends although the form book suggests Legends should have the edge. St Matthew's have more ability than their record would suggest though and their fitness could become an asset in a tight game.
Harcourts remain everybody's favourite to notch another premier one title in 2012 and anything but a comfortable win over Baywide Gladstone would be a surprise.
