The second-to-last round of Bayleys Southern Districts Premiers fixtures will take place tomorrow and, with finals footy on the horizon, many fans from around the region will be keeping a close eye on the movings and shakings of their local teams.
Wellsford and Mid Northern are well ahead on points after battling through most of the round-robin matches unsurpassed.
Wellsford will face third-placed Mid Western this weekend in a clash that could provide one of the more interesting results of the round.
Mid Northern will have an easy assignment on paper as they host Hikurangi at Hukerenui. However, after putting on a solid display of grunt against Wellsford last weekend, Mid Northern will need to be wary of the visiting Hikurangi side.
Climbing their way into fourth after a dream run through the back end of the season, Otamatea will be hoping to close out their remaining two games successfully to play in the semifinals later this month.
