Senior Grade (Div 1)
Senior Grade had beaten St George comprehensively earlier in the season and travelled to Olds Park with confidence as a result. But a different St George presented itself, racing to a 28 point lead at half-time and extending that lead by a further goal at three-quarter time. The Rams finally clicked into gear and fought back threateningly in the final term, but were thwarted by only kicking 4 goals out of 11 shots on goal - the side ultimately falling 10 points short.
Goal Kickers: P. Pope , J. Pianta , T. McNamara , N. Wright , C. Manuel , T. Cummins , M. McNamara
Best Players: T. McNamara, J. Denton, L. Jones, J. Shephard, N. Wright, N. Gatt
Reserve Grade (Div 3)
Reserve Grade made the road trip to Gosford, A little low on numbers, coach Michael Bottrill and a couple of others pulled on the jumper to fill out the reserves bench. An entertaining and high quality first half ensued, with less than a kick in it at half-time. The same was not to be in the second half though, with the home team running away with the game for a comfortable win. Coach Bottrill managed his first goal for the club in over 15 years.....
Goal Kickers: B. Robinson 6, J. Anasis 2, J. Sultana , M. Renehan , L. Jerzyna , M. Bottrill
Best Players: B. Robinson, J. Anasis, R. Newham, M. Cummins, H. Stibbard, J. Sultana
Third Grade (Div 5)
Third Grade squanderd its chance of a rare Penrith win over Sydney Uni at their home ground with wayward kicking for goal in the first half. Despite having more scoring shots in the first half, the Rams found themselves 17 points down. The warning signs for the second half were there after Uni kicked six goals in the second quarter, and those fears were well founded when the home side ran away with the game in the second half. It was a disappointing loss after such inital signs of promise.
Goal Kickers: K. Kirk 3, D. Fysh 2, M. Brown
Best Players: J. Hyland, J. Rix, D. Fysh, M. Brown, S. Scott, M. Pope
Under 18 Grade (Div 2)
The Under 18s travelled to Gipps Road to take on the finals bound Holroyd-Parramatta. After an even opening term in which the Rams showed a lot of fight and determination, the home side drew away to a comfortable win. The young Rams didn't give up though and after a scoreless third term managed to hit back with a couple of goals in the last, against a cocky Goannas outfit.
Goal Kickers: M. Wyburn , J. Durham , K. Quirk
Best Players: J. Monks, L. Veigel, E. Steffen, M. Wyburn, J. Field, J. Watts
Ladies (Div 2)
The Ramettes faced the unenviable task of travelling to Macquarie Uni to face the high flying - and clearly too good for this division - Macquarie Uni. The girls showed their usual attack on the ball and general ferocity but couldn't stop their opponents from gaining an unassailable advantage on the scoreboard. However - then came the last term. The Ramettes held Mac Uni scoreless whilst adding two goals of their own. In the process they achieved something no other side had done this season, whilst reducing Uni's percentage by some 900! Well done girls.
Goal Kickers: L. Gordon , J. Burnham
Best Players: N. Camilleri, K. Easthope, S. Kostic, M. Brydon, J. Brown, M. Green
