SECOND SEMI-FINAL

The UNSW Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs and the North Shore Bombers face off this weekend for a place in the Division Two Grand Final.

The Bulldogs progressed through their Qualifying Final against the inaccurate Penrith Rams to gain the opportunity to play off against the Minor Premiers for the coveted Grand Final spot.

The North Shore Bombers faithful will expect to win this game after the success the club has had this season. The Bombers only loss of the season came in Round 18 when UNSW Eastern Suburbs beat them by five points.

This will make the game very interesting with both sides fancying their chances. Both the Dogs and the Bombers will have a great chance to book a place in the last day of the season.
