Summary
What a contest we have ahead of us! The top two Division Five sides meet for the second time this finals series and we are sure it will be an enthralling match. Last time these two sides met was in the Semi Finals it was a close encounter before Pennant Hills busted the game open with 5 minutes remaining to win by 16 points. Pennant Hills are an experienced side and will respect the physical brand the Bulldogs play. Pennant Hills have only lost one game this year and this was to the UNSW ES Bulldogs back in Round 11 by 64 points.
Prediction: Pennant Hills to win in a seesawing match with a late goal. Pennant Hills to take the Premiership by 7 points.
