There is a logjam at the top of the BOPRU Baywide standings, with just two points separating the top five, after the two unbeaten sides tasted defeat on Saturday.

Mount Maunganui provided previously unbeaten Te Puke Sports with a real wake-up call, when they paid a visit to Murray Salt Stadium.

The defending premier titleholders, who wear the green and gold strip with absolute pride, led from the kick-off to grab an emphatic 57-8 win.

Mount Maunganui also retained the Western Bay challenge prize of the Jordan Cup, which will sit at Blake Park for at least three weeks, with the Mount having three games in a row against Rotorua teams.

Whakarewarewa also lost their unbeaten start to the season in a real battle with Te Puna in the Sulphur City.

A 19-13 advantage to Whaka at halftime wasn't enough to stop the Western Bay representatives taking home a 32-26 victory.

Tauranga Sports joined Mount Maunganui and Whakarewarewa at the top of the competition ladder, with a 93-7 win over Katikati.

Rangiuru came from a three point deficit after the first 40 minutes, to move into sixth place on the points table in beating Rotoiti 36-18.

Greerton Marist got back to winning form with a high scoring 53-21 win over Ngongotaha.

Rangataua beat long-time rivals Judea in armwrestle, leading by five at the break, before posting a 15-5 victory.

The Western Bay of Plenty competition saw Te Puna leapfrog Eastern District's (who sat out the bye) to the competition lead, after getting past Matakana Island on the Island.

Te Puna led 33-7 after the first forty before going on to post a final 62-19 scoreline.

Arataki took another hit on claiming next season's Baywide promotion spot, when beaten by Rangiuru in the early action at Centennial Park.

Rangiuru ran in 17 unanswered points in the first half before hanging on to claim a 29-24 final advantage.

Mount Maunganui moved into the Western Bay combined competition top four with a win against Te Puke Sports, scoring three tries in their 22-13 success.

Tauranga Sports beat Katikati 51-7, Rangataua got past Judea 46-10, and Greerton Marist got home 33-10 in their clash with Papamoa.

This weekend sees the start of a short and sharp Baywide title race.

Te Puke Sports, Mount Maunganui, Te Puna and Greerton Marist, will be joined by Rotorua's Kahukura and Taupo United, in the six team sprint for the 2023 Baywide Colts crown.
