Match of the Round - Wests Scarborough (1) v Kalamunda (4), at Bennett Park, Doubleview
Round Three: Wests Scarborough 37 defeated Kalamunda 27 at Hartfield Park, Forrestfield.
Wests Scarborough will look to maintain their perfect record when they play host to fourth place Kalamunda in the Pindan Premier Grade Match of the Round at Bennett Park.
Wests flexed their muscles for the rest of the competition in Round Nine with a 45-point demolition of Perth Bayswater, 62-17. The Boars ran in a massive 10 tries including a hat-trick to winger Jordan Luke. The ladder-leaders will look to bring that same attacking intensity to Saturday’s match in what will prove a much sterner task.
Kalamunda have been the surprise package of the season so far and are now two games clear in fourth spot after a convincing 16-point triumph over Cottesloe, 40-24.
The Bulls will look to claim their fifth win in-a-row and inflict the Boars with their first loss of the season. ‘Kala’ are a much improved side from the team that fell to Wests by 10 point in Round Three and will be confident of causing an upset in enemy territory.

Associates (3) v Perth Bayswater (10), at Allen Park, Swanbourne
Round Three: Associates 66 defeated Perth Bayswater 5 at Pat O’Hara Reserve, Morley.
Associates will look to continue their strong run of form when they host Perth Bayswater at Allen Park on Saturday.
‘Soaks’ currently sit in third position after outlasting Joondalup in Round Nine, 36-27, to claim their fifth win of the season.
When the sides last met in Round Three, Associates stormed their way to a 61-point victory. With only points difference separating themselves and fourth-placed Kalamunda, the Swanbourne club will have their sights set on another big win this weekend.
Perth Bayswater are still on the hunt of their first win of the season and will be striving to cause the upset of the season when they travel to Allen Park. After a few solid weeks, ‘Baysie’ then suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Wests Scarborough last weekend but will be keen to get back on track come Saturday.
Associates: 1. John Ogilvie, 2. Tabbie Du Plessis, 3. Andy Lawrence, 4. Matt Leary, 5. Peter Trend, 6. Dean Taylor-Menzies, 7. Michael Polastri, 8. Al Rovira, 9. Justin Turner, 10. Hugh Norcross, 11. Casper Nell, 12. Altus Momsen, 13. HP Momsen, 14. Tebita Sifa, 15. Robbie Ingram.

Round Three: Palmyra 26 defeated Joondalup 13 at HBF Arena Sportsplex, Joondalup.
A link to the LIVE STREAM of this match can be found here.
Palmyra will host 'Blue Day' when they take on Joondalup at Tompkins Park this Saturday. Blue Day aims to provide support and raise awareness of Muscular Dystrophy and the Duchenne Foundation.
After a promising start to the 2015 Pindan Premier Grade season, ‘Paly’ have dropped their last three matches – most recently a 20-point loss to Nedlands, 41-21. Sitting precariously in eighth position but just three points outside of fifth, Saturday’s clash could prove pivotal in the context of Palmyra’s season.
Joondalup will be intent on notching up their fifth victory of the season after pushing Associates all the way in Round Nine before falling just short, 36-27. The Brothers closed the gap to just two points with five minutes remaining but were unable to finish the job, but will took to bring that same intensity to Tompkins Park this week.

UWA (6) v Cottesloe (5), at McGillivray Oval, Mt Claremont
Round Three: Cottesloe 31 defeated UWA 7 at Harvey Field, Cottesloe.
UWA will look to string together their third straight win when they take on fifth-placed Cottesloe at McGillivray Oval.
UWA have hit some form in the last month with three wins in their last four outings, most recently a commanding 14-point win over Wanneroo, 30-16 – however, three of UWA’s wins so far this season have come against opponents below them on ladder. ‘Uni’ will be intent on showing they can match it with the sides above them as they climb steadily towards the four.
Cottesloe will look to pull themselves out of a slide with a victory in enemy territory. ‘Cott’ have dropped their last five games after going down to Kalamunda, 40-24, last weekend. The Gulls have been a mainstay in the post season over the last few years and will need to good result in Round 10 to stay in touch with Kalamunda (4) and Associates (3).
UWA: 1. Nevin Mills 2. Ed Brook, 3. Sui Liaga, 4.Jeremy Smith, 5. Brent Murphy , 6. Tala Moli, 7. Cian O'Connor, 8. Richard Hardwick, 9. Ethan Carlisle, 10. Chris Setu, 11. Christian Joubert , 12. Mike Beattie, 13. Ben Taylor, 14. Mike Lees. 15. Billy Hayes

Wanneroo (9) v Nedlands (2), at Kingsway Reserve, Landsdale
Round Three: Nedlands 41 defeated Wanneroo 5 at The Foreshore, Nedlands.
Nedlands will look to notch up their ninth consecutive victory when they travel to Kingsway Reserve to play Wanneroo.
‘Neddies’ have been in dominant form in the last few weeks and easily accounted for Palmyra in Round Nine, 41-21. Sitting just two points behind ladder-leading Wests Scarborough, Nedlands will look to claim another win and continue to snap at the heels of the Boars.
Wanneroo will be intent on giving their loyal fans something to cheer about this weekend and cause an upset against high-flying ‘Neddies’. The Roodogs were beaten by UWA in Round Nine to the tune of 14 points and will attempt to bounce back for their third win of the season this weekend.
Wanneroo: 1. Goliath Nikora, 2. Scott Cornell, 3. Andre Roux, 4. Adam Candy, 5. Bradley Campbell, 6. Sylvo Iro, 7. Benjamin Stimson, 8. Nathan Iro, 9. Bryce Watkins, 10. Kyle Bowie, 11. Jarred Rees, 12. Andrew King, 13. Cerri Cummings, 14. Marcell Blackie, 15. Michael Wilson.
