     Camelback had a match for first place in the third division against the Gilbert Warriors.  It was at camelbacks home pitch, and was a revenge game for camelback as the Warriors handed Camelback it's only loss of the season a month prior.  The emotions were high in this match up as shown through the temper of one of the gilbert players getting a yellow card for throwing a punch in the first 15 minutes of the match.  Camelback players Tony, and new guy Morgan managed to keep cooler heads and stay focused on the task at hand.The match started off a bit rocky for Camelback falling behind 12-0  in the first 20 minutes, off of a couple ill timed turnovers despite having the man advantage.
 
    Camelback, began turning it around behind an impressive physical performance of it's forwards fought back to tie the game at 12 just prior to the half.  Despite this effort the warriors managed to take the lead going into the half 19-12 with a late first half try and conversion.  The second half was more of the same for Camelback as their forwards fitness and Jesse's Mad man running style began to wear down the Warriors.  Camelback took the lead 22-19 late in the second half after a Clutch Kick by Dusty.   The Warriors put in a solid effort in the final ten minutes to try to tie the game but Camelback's defense held strong and preserved the victory. 
 
    In the b-side camelback took on the Prescott blacksheep.  In this matchup the black sheep took it to Camelback early in the game and was up 24-0 at the half.  Camelback made some timely subs at the half one of which was Coach Sione, who came in and scored a try in the second camelback made the score respectable but still lost 48-28.
