Above placings were correct as of morning 4 July 2009, and will be updated as soon as confirmed figures come to hand.

Hastings Rugby & Sports inflicted the first loss on Taradale for the season.

Celtic Timaru won the second round today, and play Harlequins in the semi-final next week.

Old Boys' Marist Palmerston North drew today, so they will need a win next week to make the semis.

The Te Awamutu Presidents Team (The Bush Pigs) won their first game of the season today after being in recession for a number of years.

Nelson Marist lost the final today - we extend our congratulations on being championship runners up for the season.
