What’s On? Moto Trials & Football

Good morning, SunLive readers, and welcome to your Sunday.

Today we've got a couple of great sporting events looking for spectators, so if you feel like braving the chill, pack a windbreaker and check them out.

First up we've got the second day of the North Island Moto Trials Championship rounds being held at Maddix Park, Ohauiti.

Trials coordinator Francis Sydenham says the event shifts around the main centres, and involves riders from as far away as Wellington and Auckland.

'We're expecting 35-40 riders, across all age groups,” says Francis. 'The oldest would probably be in their 60s, while the youngest is 13.”

'It's an opportunity to gain points in the North Island series. At the end of the year, the rider who has the most points will be the winner for the North Island.”

Action starts at 9.30am, with spectators welcome, so long as they leave the dogs at home.

At Links Ave Reserve there's a couple of football matches, as Tauranga City United take on North Shore United. The Tauranga lads will be hoping to make a comeback after some recent unsatisfactory games, so they're sure to put on a good show. Kick off for the reserves is at 12.30pm, while the first teams will clash at 3pm, 130 Links Ave.
