The Te Kani Shield will travel to Whakatane when Western Heights High School faces off against Trident High School in round four of the Toi Ohomai Secondary Schools Competition.

Trident High School posted their first win of the season against the Rotorua Boys' High School Barbarians team and will look to eliminate simple mistakes and convert try line pressure into points again this weekend.

Dale Seymour played and outstanding game last week and will need to lead by example to defeat the boys from Western Heights High School.

Denton Grimes in his first season as head coach has moulded a young and inexperienced team into a formidable unit. With a one game at a time approach Western Heights High School know they must stay in top form to hold onto the Te Kani Shield.

Rotorua Boys' High School 2nd XV travel to Bethlehem where Te Wharekura o Mauao will lay down a stirring challenge to the Raukura tama toa.

Both teams play an expansive style of attacking rugby and promise to be the match of day in the Toi Ohomai Baywide Secondary Schools competition.

Tauranga Boys' Colleges 2nd XV take on the Rotorua Boys' High School Barbarians in as the final game of the first division.

In Division Two Te Puke High School has qualified first in the division and face Papamoa College for a spot in the finals. Under new head coach Jackson Ruben the Te Puke High School team has been the most consistent with performance and on field attitude.

With three Bay of Plenty pre-academy players in their squad the Te Puke High School 1st XV is more than ready for the step up.

Meanwhile Aquinas College will take on Otumoetai College in the last semi-final of Division Two.

With the winner of each Division Two semi-final being promoted to Division One; the season plan for both schools will rest on these games.

In our girls Premier 1st XV Division Tauranga Girls' College had a comfortable win over Te Puke High School who is improving with every game and will look to test a few teams in the second round.

The Trip to Opotiki College proved too big a hurdle for the kotiro of Te Wharekura o Mauao losing to a slick and polished Opotiki College girls' team.
