Top seeds Te Kauwhata meet defending champions Onewhero in the final of the Sid Marshall Shield at Navigation Homes Stadium on Saturday.

Te Kauwhata have led the competition throughout and come into the final on the back of a dominant season.

But the two games they have lost this season have both been against Onewhero – an opening round loss on April and a second round ** loss on July *.

Onewhero have timed their run perfectly, sneaking into a top two spot in the final weeks of the round robin before edging Weymouth narrowly in the semi-finals.

The game kicks off at 3pm.

Manurewa will contest the final of the Bright Cup U19 grade when they face Auckland side College Rifles at Navigation Homes Stadium.

That game kicks off at 1pm.
