After the heavy loss at Kingsway Reserve, Perth-Bayswater will look forward to returning home in round 2, hosting Nedlands at Pat O’Hara Reserve at 3.30pm this Saturday.
Nedlands pack plenty of firepower and pose a tough challenge, coming off an agonising 34-32 loss to Wests Scarborough.
In the reserves, Perth-Bayswater handed Wanneroo a fearful hiding, running out 66-20 winners.
The huge win was not enough to secure top spot as Kalamunda beat UWA 56-0, but marked a very promising start to the year for the reserves.
