At Tompkins Park, Palmyra showed that nothing can be taken for granted with the upset of the season, overturning premiers Perth-Bayswater 31-19. The Paly forwards gained a little parity in their pack with the help of Western Force prop Gareth Hardy and despite trailing 7-5 at half time, were able to launch their useful back line in the second half to stun the complacent premiers with 26 points. Perth-Bayswater had five players out injured with the midfield badly affected, but that does not detract from a confident, positive performance from a Palmyra team that scored five tries.
