The two sides will meet again on Saturday with the game once again being played at Gulgong. The Bulldogs can expect some tough opposition from the Terriers who will be out to erase the memory of their disappointing display last week in front of their home crowd.

The top-of-the-table clash between the Coonamble Bears and the Gilgandra Panthers was a robust affair that was played out in front of a huge crowd at the Bears home ground. The Bears will now have to trek down to Gilgandra next Sunday to do it all again as the two teams will be clashing in the major semi-final, with the big prize for a win in that game being the right to host the grand final a fortnight later.
