A slow start to the year with many new players and a new coach saw First Grade lagging in the bottom of the competition. Ron Rae's First Grade fought their way back with some good wins including the first defeat of Nedlands in 14 years. But it was too late and they fell one spot short of the finals.

Second round: Kalamunda 11-18, University 27-8, Nedlands 12-20, Associates 42-10, Cottesloe 10-36, Western Suburbs 29-7, Palmyra, Rockingham, ARKs. Summary: Fifth in competition. Seconds also had a confused start to the season, losing coach Charlie Amai to be replaced by Bill Watt. Some early losses were regathered in the second round and Seconds lost a final spot on percentage.

THIRD GRADE Due to a chronic shortage of players, Perth-Bayswater dropped third grade for 1994.

FOURTH GRADE First round: Kalamunda 7-77, Murdoch 0-25, Nedlands loss, Associates loss, Cottesloe 3-15, Curtin 3-18, Palmyra 20-0, Leeming 38-18, Wanneroo 22-5. Second round: Kalamunda 29-0, Murdoch 37-0, Nedlands 13-7, Associates 19-11, Cottesloe 13-65, Curtin 0-28, Palmyra, Leeming, Wanneroo. Summary: Fifth in competition. Andy Keen's fourth grade had a horror start to the season as the club struggled to find a third grade, and then hit a purple patch to win ten games straight. They couldn't quite regain enough ground and finished fifth.

FIFTH GRADE First round: Kalamunda 0-25, University 22-10, Nedlands 10-12, Associates 26-7, Bunbury, Curtin 11-23, Palmyra 18-5, Rockingham 34-0, ARKs 0-10. Second round: Kalamunda 10-18, University 38-3, Nedlands 31-7, Associates 6-17, Bunbury 0-25, Western Suburbs 0-38. Summary: Ninth in competition. Ferocious fifths, again under the peerless Peter Westaway, stumbled from disaster to catastrophe during their confusing season to finish second last. But nobody minded because drowning your sorrows is almost as good an excuse to drink the bar dry as celebrating a triumph.

COLTS First round: Curtin, University 0-0, Nedlands, Asscoiates, Cottesloe, Western Suburbs 0-26, Wanneroo 5-19, Palmyra, ARKs 10-10. Second round: Curtin 26-43, University 25-0, Nedlands 0-44, Associates 0-67, Cottesloe 0-25, Western Suburbs 0-87, Palmyra, Wanneroo, ARKs. Summary: Eighth in competition. The fragile depth of colts was exposed this year after being grand finalists the year before. The club struggled to find a colts side all year, forfeited a string of games, fielded short sides and played juniors in the team -- yet somehow managed to avoid the wooden spoon.
