The business end of the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic Secondary School Rugby competitions has arrived, with six championship semi-finals to be played out on Saturday.

Taking centre stage is the Division One title race, where Bethlehem College finished as top qualifier after an unbeaten run since the holiday break.

It is expected that there will be a big turnout on the sidelines at Bethlehem College, when the home team square off against John Paul College.

JPC booked a semi-final berth last week when they defeated 2011 champions Western Heights High School.

Trident High School were rewarded for good form throughout the season, with the second home semi-final where they will meet Otumoetai College.

Last weekend Trident warmed up for the post section action with a solid 32 nil win against Mount Maunganui, while Otumoetai College accounted for Taupo Nui A Tia 29-10.

Katikati College and Reporoa College who come from either ends of the Bay of Plenty Union border, will battle for a Division Two finals berth in the Western Bay of Plenty.

While Katikati were in the forefront throughout the competition, Reporoa College only booked their post section place when they defeated Te Puke High School last Saturday.

The other Division One semi-final will be fought out in Taupo between second qualifier Tauhara College and Aquinas College.

Rotorua Boys High School has two sides in the Division Three playoffs.

The Schools Under 15 A team will host Kawerau College, with the third fifteen playing near neighbours Rotorua Lakes at the Rotorua High School.

Tauranga Boys College are another School to have two sides in a division playoff.

The Tauranga Boys Under 15 A team finished as top qualifier in the Second Fifteen competition and will play Mount Maunganui College, with Western Heights High School at home to Tauranga Boys fourth fifteen.

The Under 15 Premiership post section will be contested by Trident High School who play Western Heights, with Opotiki facing off against Mount Maunganui.

In the U14 Premiership ranks, Rotorua Boys face a Rotorua local derby against Western Heights with Opotiki hosting new season recruit Te Wharekura O Mauao in the Eastern Bay.
