Penrith District finished first in Division 2 with a convincing season this year, remaining undefeated! Randwick will attempt to bring them down in the semi-final next week, and are running on a high after knocking out Inner West who were placed fourth on the ladder prior to last night’s match up.
It’s a tight contest in Division 3 with our top three placings finishing on equal points on the ladder.

Division 4 is all set for an epic battle as currently second placed Eastwood Ryde will take on third placed Baulkham Hills in the semi-final. Will history repeat itself and will there be yet another 1 goal difference to secure the grand finalist?

Camden & District completed the regular rounds in prime position on the ladder in Division 5 and will take on Sutherland Shire in a Round 9 rematch which saw Sutherland take them out 56-43. Inner Western Suburbs and Campbelltown District are in for a tight match as Round 5 saw neither team able to close it out, resulting in a draw.
Manly Warringah proved themselves in Division 6, only dropping one match the entire season. Hills District will have to bring all they’ve got to take them down in the semi-finals next week! Ku-ring-gai and Northern Suburbs will be yet another close match up in the second semi-final for Division 6.
