So we're headed back to the Caketin to take on Wellington in the semifinal of the Mitre 10 Cup Championship!
Its the first time we've been in the finals in 10 years and on current form, Wellington will be wary of the Harbour side who has been unbeatable at home in 2016.
We defeated Counties-Manukau (who beat Wellington 28-27 in Round 4), Manawatu (who put 50 on Wellington in week 8), and drew with Tasman, who finished 3rd in the Premiership.
A win for Harbour also sees promotion to the Premiership in 2017, so its all to play for to REALLY top off an already sensational season for Steve Jackson, Daniel Halangahu, and their charges.

| 1. Nic MAYHEW | Loosehead Prop | Northcote |
