On Saturday, they square off with fourth placed Geyser City Sports at the Te Puke Domain, before backing up against archrivals Cadets on Monday.

Chris Rowe, Cameron Riley and Raminder Singh have been in good for with the ball for Te Puke and will be keen to add to their bowling scalps during the long weekend matches.

Last weekend, Kinnon Nelson ripped through the Mount Maunganui batting attack to grab six wickets at a cost of 20 runs.

On Saturday, the Tauranga students will have a stern test against Cadets before sitting out the bye on Monday.

Greerton faltered a little in their quest of the Western Bay Championship to go with their First Round title when they were beaten by the Sangha XI last weekend.

Greerton will meet Whakatane United on a neutral ground at Blake Park in round five, with the Eastern Bay side bringing plenty of firepower to the encounter.

Alex Yates and Hamish Wilde sit in first and third place in the Reserve Championship batting stakes, with Hamish Wilde second on bowling scalps chase.

Sitting top of the bowling stakes is Sikh Sports Gurwinder Singh, who has taken 11 wickets, with season best figures of five wickets for just 6 runs.
