There’s another exciting round of fixtures this weekend in week seven of the Fortescue Premier Grade season, with a total of 21 players representing the Force for their respective local clubs.

Homegrown talent Michael McDonald makes his long-awaited return from injury, with the scrumhalf kitting up for this junior club Palmyra alongside Chris Heiberg, Jack McGregor, Jackson Pugh and Reece Anapu. The quintet will be facing up against Marcel Brache and Theo Strang of Cottesloe in what should be an enthralling contest.

In another high-profile clash featuring six Force representatives, Brad Lacey, Connor Seve and Keenan Wentholt of Wests Scarborough travel to Allen Park to take on Siosifa Amone, Alex Masibaka and Tonga Fiefia Lotefia of Associates.

Grason Makara of Wanneroo will be going head-to-head with Fortescue Academy pair Finn O’Callaghan and Zan Pomare-Tutagalevao of Nedlands.

Perth-Bayswater host Joondalup, with Bo Abra, Jack Winchester and Dante Tatafu all involved, while Jonah Placid will be in action for Southern Lions against Curtin and Kieran Longbottom of Coastal Cavaliers takes on the table-topping UWA.

It’s going to be a highly entertaining weekend of community rugby. Be sure to get down and support your local club on Saturday. Click HERE for the full fixture list.
