Tauranga Sports rebounded for their first loss of the season to Te Puke Sports last weekend to beat Mount Maunganui in the early game at the Tauranga Domain. The home side led 24-8 at the break and went on to post a 53-8 victory.

Tauranga Sports Coach John O'Loan said they worked hard at training this week after last weekend's loss.

'We took plenty of positives from the narrow lost to Te Puke and used the lessons to good effect on Saturday.

'While the Mount received the backlash from our first loss of the season, we are expecting a real challenge in next Saturday's semi-final.”

Mount Maunganui Coach Jon Baird said Tauranga Sports pounced on the Mount errors in the game too good effect.

'We are looking forward to the rematch next weekend and we will take plenty of out of the defeat'.

'We haven't had a game of such high intensity this year and will be better for the experience next Saturday.”
