Top eight found in tight race at mens club nationals Friday March 24th 2006 The race to make the top eight at the New Zealand Community Trust Mens National Club Championships at Akina Park, Hastings has gone right down to the wire this afternoon. Round robin play for the 24 teams in the tournament finished this afternoon with only the top eight teams to go through to the title race starting this evening while the remaining sides are left to battle it out for places nine through to 24. Qualifying for the top eight are defending champions Mt Albert Ramblers, Parklands Christchurch United, Metro, Miramar, Hutt City United, Rotorua Magic, Northcote and Richmond Keas. It was a tight race for some teams to qualify in the top eight with last years runners up Miramar having to rely on two wins this morning to qualify while also winning their way through to the top eight with a win today was Richmond Keas. With the top eight found the race for the title will get even tighter as the playoffs are underway now and will go through to 7pm tonight. The top eight teams will play a round robin series today and tomorrow as they compete for a place in the final on Sunday.
