Talented Gladstone utility back Cameron Hayton has been on a scoring spree in the Wairarapa-Bush Rugby Football Union's Chris Kapene Memorial Cup competition.
Hayton, who made the national Heartland squad last season, has already cracked the century of points, sitting on 102. Pioneer halfback Joseph Thompson is next best with 85 while Martinborough inside back Tipene Haira has 60.
Hayton is also sharing the try-scoring honours. Both he and Tavita Issac (Greytown) have touched down on nine occasions and there are two players with six tries to their credit, Sean Robinson (Pioneer) and Ben Holmes (East Coast).
There is still one series of matches remaining before the Kapene Cup competition is completed but last season's Tui Cup premiership winners, Greytown, are guaranteed the title. They have amassed 33 points, eight more than Martinborough on 25. Then come Gladstone 23, East Coast 20, Eketahuna 18, Pioneer 17, Carterton 10, Marist 5 and Bush Sports 3. Greytown have also scored the most tries for good measure, 36.
