While Rotorua's two cricket clubs are out of the title race in the Bay Cup, Greerton still have everything to play for.

Greerton will play in a high-stakes Bay Cup game against top-of-the-table Mount Maunganui at Blake Park tomorrow to try and make the final.

There is a theoretical chance that Greerton could make the Bay Cup final if they lose tomorrow - but it would take a huge upset in another fixture.

The third-placed Otumoetai Cadets would have to lose to the bottom placed Bay of Plenty Indians (Rotorua).

Mount Maunganui will want to reverse the result of their last meeting against Greerton.

Late last season, Greerton eliminated Mount Maunganui from the Williams Cup title race when they beat the Mount side in the minor semifinal.

Greerton batted first and posted 214/7, with Bay of Plenty representatives Tom MacRury and Brett Hampton both reaching the 50s.

Despite 74 not out from Mount skipper Peter Drysdale, the Greerton bowling pair of Hampton and Tommy Clout grabbed four wickets apiece to have Mount Maunganui all out for just 114. Meanwhile, Central face Whakatane United in Whakatane while Te Puke go up against Tauranga Boys' College at Nicholson Field.
