The unbeaten PURC U21s headline the day for the east Auckland club as their gritty win over Manukau at the weekend has booked them a ticket to the final.

They will face a strong Grammar TEC side with the hope of finally lifting the Arthur Bayliss Cup after falling short in last year’s final.

Meanwhile the PURC premier reserve men will have a final of their own as they compete for the Peter Fatialofa Trophy (5th place play-off) this weekend.

The premier reserves will play Puketapapa, who they beat 29-22 earlier in the season.

It wasn’t exactly a positive end to the season for the PURC premier men, who were upset by Papatoetoe in their Jubilee Trophy semi-final.
