SENIORS
The Senior Rhinos took on the Kenmore Bears clinging to their play off hopes. The Rhinos behind 2 TDs from Paul Mason and 1 from Luke Jackson were unable to beat the Bears. The 28-18 loss puts an end to the chances of playing in the finals. It will be the first time since 2003 that the Rhinos have failed to make it.
JUNIORS
The Juniors took on the Eastside Ravens also clinging to their play off hopes. Missing players in key positions it was always going to be hard taking on a well drilled team like the Ravens. In the end the Ravens were too good for the Juniors running out 18-0 winners. It was the first time since 2007 that the Juniors have failed to score a point in a game.

The Rhinos were then able to put in a long drive lead by the running of Luke Jackson allowing Paul Mason to barge over for the TD, the Rhinos took the lead with a 2 point conversion. Going into the second qurater with a small lead Rhinos QB Ryen Gillen was able to drive down the field and throw his first TD in Seniors hooking up with Matt Neil in the end zone to increase the lead to 14-7.
The second half was a end to end game with neither team able to get a score, while the Rhinos defence came up with some great plays in the red zone. In final quarter the Wildcats were able to put a good drive together lead by their passing game and get the ball into the end zone and tie the game at 14. Both teams threw everything they had to take the lead with the Wildcats having a late shot at field goal blocked and a pass into the end zone intercepted to leave the score at full time 14 each.
