Hautapu Sports have earned three more senior rugby victories with wins to the two Premiership sides and the club’s Colts team.
In close games with United Matamata Sports, the Premier A and B teams both registered wins to move up the standings.
The Premier A side won 29-25 to stay in second place, well-positioned behind completion leaders Hamilton Marist.
The Development side won their Premier B game 22-17 against Matamata to move into the top half of the standings.
Both sides travel to Melville next weekend.
The Hautapu Colts travelled to Te Awamutu for their 31-17 win, which keeps their 100% winning start to the season intact.
The Colts are one of three teams locked on 15 competition points after three rounds, in a congested table.
They are at home next week, ready to face Hinuera.
