The draw for Pool 2 in the Wider Auckland Club Knock Out competition has been made and it will feature three teams from Counties Manukau, two from Auckland and one from North Harbour.
McNamara Cup semi-finalists Pukekohe host 2021 Gallaher Shield winners Eden in the opening round on March 11.
Bombay, the most successful club in Counties Manukau over the past decade, will host North Harbour’s Kumeu, who are recent semi-finalists, up the hill at Bombay in week 1 – the views from Bombay Rugby Club look out over the entire Auckland region and are spectacular on a nice afternoon.
The final game of week 1 sees Papakura host Papatoetoe at Massey Park in Papakura. Papakura have teams in all grades in Counties Manukau and are seen as a team on the up while Papatoetoe have recently been in the semi-finals of the Gallaher Shield.
The competition sees teams compete over three successive weekends, much like Pool 1 that was confirmed a couple of weeks ago.
