Additionally, the Clarke Family Cup will be awarded to the team which collects the most sportsmanship points over the four
rounds.

The U60kg Rams side won both of its games.
The first round of the cup was held at Hamilton’s Marist Park at the end of July, while rounds three and four are set for Matamata’s
