The top six teams have been confirmed for the Warriors Cup phase of the College Rugby League Premier First XIII Competition after todays final round-robin matches.
St Pauls College and Kelston Boys High School came through the first phase with five straights wins, St Pauls beating Papatoetoe High School 30-4 while Kelston accounted for Avondale College 26-0.
With St Pauls prevailing to win Pool B the heat was on in the clash between Mount Albert Grammar School and Tangaroa College to confirm the second team. In a tough battle Tangaroa scored first but the Steve Price-coached MAGS, playing at home, led 10-4 at halftime and went on to triumph 22-10. That lifted MAGS to six points, level with Tangaroa but going through by virtue of a vastly superior points for and against differential.
With Otahuhu College swamping Manurewa High School 48-8 in Pool C, all interest was focused on the outcome between Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate and Southern Cross Campus, the winner going through. This was a tense tussle with Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate surviving 16-12 to finish top of the pool with nine points.
