Sikh Sports the big improver

The WBOPCA Reserve Grade competition leader board has received a big of a shake in the last two rounds.

Competition newcomers Sikh Sports have moved into second place and defending Reserve Grade champions R&A Sangha have dropped down the standings to fifth place, albeit just one victory from the top of the leader board.

Former multiple Reserve titleholders Mount Maunganui hold down the top position, with Cadets and Tauranga Boys College rounding out the top four.

Saturday's Reserve Grade action sees a Western Bay battle of the bridge, with Mount Maunganui taking on Cadets, at the Tauranga Domain.

The two sides both provide cover for their premier side and always have players wanting to stake a place in their clubs first eleven, which could make for an entertaining match-up.

The Sikh Sports 11 who have made big strides in the last two rounds, square off against Katikati at the neutral venue of Blake Park.

The team from the extremities of the Western Bay has made a quite start to the season and will be targeting the competition new comers to advance their place in the standings.

Tauranga Boys College 2nd XI travels to play Te Puke at the Te Puke Domain, with R&A Sangha favoured to defeat Greerton who sit at the bottom of the point's ladder.

Grasshoppers and Cadets sit on top of the B Grade point's ladder with unbeaten records, with the two sides meeting on Saturday at Mitchell Park.

The winner of the clash between Mount Maunganui and Albion at Blake Park will see the victor pick up their first win of the competition.

Former competition leaders in the Singh XI travel to Moore Park in Katikati to meet the home side, with Wanderers paying a visit to Greerton headquarters at Pemberton Park.
