Premiership review - Rd 14

Premiership review - Rd 14

The Northcote Tigers have taken their most significant step to ensuring they remain in the Appliance Shed Fox Memorial Premiership for 2016, after beating the Otara Scorpions 18-4 on Saturday.

With the Scorpions sitting in last position, just one point behind Northcote heading into Round 14, the game shaped as a crucial one for the survival hopes of both teams.

The victory in the featured Maori TV game means Northcote jump three points clear of the bottom with just four games to go.

Earlier in the day at Birkenhead War Memorial Otahuhu all but guaranteed their own survival with an 18-12 victory over the Glenora Bears.

Ladder leaders Mt Albert just scraped past Marist 20-18 in a battle of the central suburbs, but the Saints remain fourth after nearest rivals Howick went down 30-10 to Pt Chevalier.

Papakura cruised to a 44-14 win over Mangere East in the round’s remaining game.

In the SAS Sharman Cup (second division) there is no change at the top with leaders Te Atatu and second placed Richmond both winning.

Last year's third division winners the Mt Wellington Warriors knocked off the Bay Roskill Vikings to assume third position on the ladder.
