East Campbelltown Reserve Grade also secured a premiership trophy when they defeated the East Hills Bulldogs 26-10 in the grand final.

East Campbelltown were unstoppable, running in 54 points to smash Berala off the paddock in claiming the U19 premiership trophy.
The Man of the match award went to Samoa Meafua.
In the reserve grade grand final, which was played straight after the U19s, the Eagles put on an impressive display to knock off the East Hills Bulldogs.
The score was 14-4 at half time to the Eagles, and it was anyone’s game, but East Campbelltown held onto win 26-10, to the delight of their supporters who had travelled to Belmore.
The man of the match award went to Vili Vai.
