The defeats of Hora Hora and Old Boys Marist have strengthened Kamo's stranglehold on the Bayleys Premier competition with five rounds to go.
Old Boys Marist lost 28-17 to fellow top-four side Waipu, who now put some distance (41 competition points) between themselves and the chasing pair of Mid Northern and Kerikeri (both 31).
Meanwhile Hora Hora fell 24-10 to Wellsford in something of an upset. Wellsford have been steadily improving throughout the season and that win keeps their faint semifinal hopes alive.
Those defeats opened up a 17-point gap between that pair and leaders Kamo, who continued their unbeaten streak with a win over Mid Northern.
The change in time of day from afternoon to evening did little to rattle Kamo, who eased out to a 30-15 win to further dent Mid Northern's chances of a return to the final.
