Round one winners from divisions one and two will meet in the feature match of tomorrow's Bethlehem Coachlines Secondary Schools Championship round.

John Paul College return to the first division and travel to take on the round one champion Te Whare Kura o Mauao. Both teams are unbeaten this year and will bring contrasting styles of play to Hangarau Reserve.

Te Whare Kura o Mauao have been building all season to bring more structure to their play while holding on to their traditional style of attack from everywhere on the field. John Paul College have been struck with injuries in a young and inexperienced team and are hoping that senior players will be cleared to play in what will be a tough introduction to division one rugby.

Western Heights High School return to the Baywide competition and will put the Te Kani Shield on the table when they host Bethlehem College in Rotorua.

Western Heights High School has had a mixed run in the Chiefs Trophy and are looking to restart their season with a successful defence of the Te Kani Shield. Bethlehem College were unlucky in their loss in the round one final and will be more motivated with the shield up for grabs.
