Rotorua's Geyser City and Tauranga's Cadets will be hoping the wet weather abates enough tomorrow to give the two sides a last shot at making the WBOPCA Reserve Grade Championship rounds.

Both teams are currently sitting in fourth spot in their respective qualifying pools and need to win in round five and other results to go their way.

In Pool One, Geyser City is scheduled to play Tauranga Boys College with Cadets set to meet Greerton in Pool Two.

With the wet weather expected to continue over the weekend there is real chance that no play will be possible. That will mean that Sikh Sports and Greerton, who currently hold down third place in their respective pools, will be handed berths in the WBOPCA Reserve Grade Championship.

The status quo is a result of teams receiving ten points apiece in rained off matches.
