Not many club competitions have 13 Teams in the top grade. A funny number to split to get 2 meaningful grades.

@Stargazer If you want to watch Latrell Smiler-Ah Kiong in action his club's game will be live-streamed.

A quick scan through the Waikato club team lists shows that Jack Lam is on the bench for Marist, and Gideon Wrampling is playing for Hamilton OB.

[mikedogz]

A couple of waikato prem sides out of contention for top 5 have decided to default.

Live stream of the Wainui vs Petone game including Peter Umaga-Jensen/Bailyn Sullivan (Wainui) and Riley Higgins (Petone).

Definitely not a game for running rugby.

[Bovidae]

At least Morrinsville turns up.

And in most important club game of weekend, Kaponga beat Okiawa to hold the Crowley cup. It's a cup played for between these 2 clubs who are both in Naki 2nd/3rd div.

Top 5

Bottom 5

My Maunganui Marlins Women’s team have just completed a perfect round robin 10/10 with 10 BPs for 50 points max.

@Crucial They need to play Hamilton Old Boys Huskies, who win every game in the Waikato competition.

Kurow had their 125th Anniversary last weekend so they get on Grassroots Rugby show this week.
Assume they are showing the actual club game and not the hungover old boys game.
(Richie was there for the weekend and was endlessly ribbed about only playing juniors).

Edit: a weekend for anniversarys

@Dan54 you may be interested in the Wanderers (you have a connection don't you?)

Yep ta Crucial, I am from down there and know all the Wanderers clubmen

Here is one close to my heart. I have spent innumerable hours in and around the Club's facilities and playing ground at Hataitai Park, particularly in the Isherwood Lounge (featuring an impressive amount of memorabilia on display) where a good selection of beautiful craft beers from local brewers, Waitoa Brewery, are available on tap and will be doing so again in a couple of weeks time! It starts by featuring Keith Quinn who, like him or not, recounts some rugby history.

Playing in Waikato club rugby tomorrow:

Jack Lam (Marist)
Simon Parker (Hautapu)
Atu Moli (Varsity)
Tepaea Cook-Savage (Fraser Tech) - I wonder if he will play NPC

[mikedogz]

Beaver having a run tomorrow for Waiuku who play in the Counties Championship grade. A few more Moana guys will be in Counties premier club rugby.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz Yeah, we have a few MP players returning to their club in Hawke's Bay as well, this weekend.
