The split is here, and so are the big games.
We’re into week four of our Flagship High School competition, which can only mean one thing. Our Top 8 and Bottom 8 split is here for Thomson division one.
If games haven’t been close enough for you yet, just wait for this week’s match ups.
Thomson Division One- Top 8
Rangiora vs Christ’s College: It’s a repeat of last year’s grand final showdown. Christs came out on top last year, but now we have Rams team meats facing off as Tawhiri and Ihaka take on Jake.
Pick: Christ’s College
Shirley vs Cashmere: If you want the ultimate spectator experience at a high school game, this could be the one to watch. Expect the noise as these two have a rematch of last year’s quarter final.
Pick; Shirley
St Andrew’s vs St Bede’s: St Bede’s put the pressure on last week as they went to OT with St Thomas. This week could be similar.
Pick: St Bede’s
St Thomas vs Hillmorton: What is going to promise another epic game, our refs will need their A game tonight.
Pick: St Thomas

St Magaret’s vs CGHS: Another possibly close game, which is likely to have coaching key to success.
Pick: CGHS
