Semis time in the lower grades

It's also semi-finals time in the premier B and Presidents grade competitions tomorrow.
East Coast and Martinborough emerged as the top seeds in the premier B section and will start favourites against Puketoi and Masterton Red Star respectively.
The latter two sides have, however, been playing well enough of late to suggest that wins to them are not entirely out of the question.
Puketoi are sure to compete vigorously with the Coasters up front at Whareama and won't be all discouraged if the underfoot conditions make it something of a forward slog.
Masterton Red Stars have an impressive loose trio and if they and their hard-running midfield backs can get themselves into the action on a regular basis they will keep Martinborough honest, at the very least.
Martinborough do though have the home advantage and they will help their cause.
Whareama will also be the venue of the President's grade semi-final between top seeds East Coast and fourth seeds Gladstone while in the other semi second seeds Eketahuna will meet third seeds Greytown-Tuhirangi.
Again it might not pay to place too much faith in the form book as both Gladstone and Greytown-Tuhirangi are well capable of causing upsets.
