The season may still be in its infancy, but Saturday's clash between Marist and Richmond could prove vital in the bid to avoid relegation at the end of the year.
Marist welcome Richmond to Murray Halberg Park, desperate for a victory after a winless opening two months, which sees them rooted to the bottom of the SAS Fox Memorial Premiership. Richmond meanwhile are far from comfortable themselves, with just two points to their name so far.
The match kicks off at 2.30pm, with coverage from 2pm.
Earlier in the day Northcote play Otahuhu at the same venue, with the two sides, who are separated by just two points on the ladder, pushing to keep pace with the competition's top four.
Coverage of the curtain-raiser starts at noon, with kick-off at 12.20pm.
