Competition to make the Western Bay JMC title deciders started back in May, with the finalists emerging after plenty of battles of attrition on their way to Super Saturday.

Papamoa will square off against Te Puna who beat the combined Eastern Districts and Te Puke Sports side.
The big boys of Super Saturday will contest the Under 13 championship with top qualifier Te Puna taking on arch rivals Greerton Chargers.
