=====Round 9=====
=====Round 9=====
[[File:Bay Roskill attacking.jpg|thumb|Sebastian Hindt passing for Bay Roskill v Manukau.]]Manukau had a solid 30-10 win over Bay Roskill after a clinical first half which saw them take a 16-0 lead at halftime, scoring nearly each time they got on attack. The Vikings threatened to make a game of it when Mackenzie Kata scored and Joshua Tanielu converted but from the next set Tanielu tried to tap on a pass which went to ground and winger Kahn Munokoa picked up the loose ball and raced 70 metres to score. A penalty to Fred (Pupi) Muller and a try to Karekake Holamotu gave them an unassailable lead. At Jack Colvin Park an improving Richmond side ran in four first half tries for a 22-0 lead before Te Atatu scored their only points just after halftime with a try to Kane Lefleur. However the Bulldogs scored four more tries with Trujon Nomani-Brown finishing with seven successful conversion attempts from eight. In the live streamed game at Margaret Griffen Park, Marist's second home ground the Saints scored twice early to take a 10-0 lead. Mt Albert then took over the game with four first half tries to take a 22-10 lead. They had seven different try scorers with Navajo Doyle converting five of them. At Prince Edward Park Papakura opened the scoring with a try to [[Walter Fifita]] before Malakai Cama, Taipari Wikitera, and Juelz Baker crossed for tries to put the Pirates in front 20-16 at the break. Stedman Lefau scored twice for the Sea Eagles while Fifita added a second in the 72nd minute. James Dowie converted five of their six tries while Tyrone Hurt-Pickering only converted two of the Pirates five tries with Juelz Baker scoring a double. At Victoria Park the Ponsonby side found themselves level with Otahuhu 8-8 after half an hour but the Leopards were too strong after that with Toaiti Ramsay scoring two tries as did Tevita Mikaele, while Ben Wharton-Benedict also scored a try in his 100th appearance for Otahuhu. Bostyn Hakaraia converted seven of their ten tries.
