Greerton Marist rugby club’s Premier team is heading to Te Puke this weekend to finish off the 2024 rugby season the way it started – versing Te Puke Sports.
The two teams battled out the season opener in April and this Saturday, July 27, will face off again this Saturday at Murray Salt Stadium as the two top qualifiers in the Baywide Premier preliminary competition.
Greerton Marist are in uncharted territory, having never captured the big prize before while their competition Te Puke Sports has bagged the Baywide silverware in 2011, 2012 and 2018.
The teams have got to this Saturday’s final each winning their semifinal games last Saturday, July 20, against Whakarewarewa and Tauranga Sports, to get to the final.
The two other club rugby titles to be contested this Saturday, July 27, will be fought out at Blake Park. Mount Maunganui will host Te Puna in the Baywide Colts/Under-85kg title decider; and Greerton Marist will take on the home side – the Mount – in the Western Bay of Plenty sub-union championship.
The Greerton Marist versus Te Puke Sports in the Baywide Premier competition final match is at Mur-ray Salt Stadium this Saturday, July 27. Kick-off is 2.45pm.
