The match in question, Clutha v West Taieri, will be played at the Balclutha Showgrounds. Neither side has been playing their best footy, despite their recent results.
Clutha took 60 minutes to shake off a determined Lawrence side thanks to a couple of sparkling performances off the bench which kicked them into gear.
West Taieri escaped Heriot on Thursday night with four points after defending for the majority of the match. The visitors made the most of the little possession they had, but it was their defence that secured them the spoils.
Despite being unbeaten, West Taieri sits two points behind Clutha thanks to their lack of bonus points.
Toko is the third unbeaten team after four rounds. Rumours of Toko not being challenged by a "top" team were put to bed on Saturday when the home side beat Crescent on the final whistle to win the Eddie Scott Memorial in front of a couple of thousand supporters at Milton for their 125th Jubilee.
Toko will want to ensure there is no hangover from the weekend as they head to Swamp Hen Park to take on Owaka with both the Dean Miller Memorial and Reg Phillips Memorial up for grabs.
Lawrence host Crescent for the Miners Cup. Crescent will be determined to shake off last weekend’s disappointment and close the gap on the teams above them. Lawrence is without a win as yet and some key injuries against Clutha last weekend may see them go into the match under-strength.
Clutha Valley host Heriot for the Trevor Peters Memorial. Valley did not have to play well to defeat Owaka last weekend, and this match will be a step up from them. Heriot did everything except score tries against West Taieri, but the close result should give them confidence they can keep up with the big boys.
Heriot to win this one.
