The opening round of the 2008 home Building Society premiership match of the week between 2007 premiers Perth-Bayswater and minor premiers and grand finalists Nedlands, has been re-scheduled for Pat O'Hara Reserve at 3.30pm on Saturday 29 March. The match was originally to be played at the Foreshore but Nedlands' home ground will not be ready in time for the game. The traditional season starter of the grand final replay will be Nedlands' first chance to exact revenge for their upset grand final loss to the underdogs from Morley, who stole the premiership after entering the finals in fourth place. For Perth-Bayswater, it will be an opportunity to prove their win was no fluke and to start the 2008 season as the team to beat.

All teams will play Nedlands at Pat O'Hara Reserve, players should check with coaches and managers for their kick-off times. Perth-Bayswater are pleased to host Nedlands at the clubrooms afterwards for the victory celebrations/drowning of sorrows, with music by "Jacque" to add to the occasion.
