Manurewa High School 1^st XV came away with a 46-29 victory over their Counties Manukau rivals, Rosehill College at Manurewa High.

At Alfriston College, Cambridge High picked up the win 29-12.

It was incredibly close between Pukekohe High School and Matamata College at Pukekohe High. It was a pretty quiet second half until Pukekohe scored a fantastic try to go ahead 15-11 with a couple of minutes to go, but Matamata College struck back and clinched a 16-15 victory right on full time.
