With just two rounds remaining in the Williams Cup title race the potential semi-finalists have emerged after results were posted yesterday.

Te Puke and Cadets held onto their unbeaten records with Mount Maunganui and Greerton cementing their place in the top four.

Batting first at the Te Puke Domain against Rotorua Central the home side set a very defendable target when they were dismissed for 207.

Associate coach Charles Williams led the way with a solid 57 with Steven Crossan (40) and skipper Tai Bridgeman-Raison (32) both getting good starts.

Bay Development bowler Ben Blackett bowled with real enthusiasm to grab a five wicket bag.

The visitors made a good start in their pursuit of victory with Ben Blackett backing up his bowling performance to top score with a crisp 48.

Jeremy Bates was in fine touch with the ball returning 3/34 while Sean Gibson and Josh Dwight took two wickets apiece as Te Puke cruised to a 44 run victory.

In spite of an unbeaten knock of 77 from Tauranga Boys' College coach Mark Orchard the visitors to Blake Park struggled against the Mount Maunganui bowling attack.

However, two rear guard partnerships that featured Orchard with James Boyd and then Tom Wakelin produced 66 bonus runs as the students reached a respectable 157 all out.

The Mount Maunganui batsmen ripped into action and were quickly ahead of the required run rate, with Mark Divehall smashing the ball all around Blake Park to be rewarded with a sparkling 74.

Ben Guild took his team to a six wicket victory, posting an unbeaten 38, as Mount Maunganui cemented third equal place in the Williams Cup title race.

Element IMF Cadets had an early finish at Smallbone Park in Rotorua as they maintained their 2013 unbeaten run in the Williams Cup.

Bay of Plenty Indians spent little time at the batting crease being removed for just 89 with the Cadets wickets being shared around.
