The Blacks were defeated in the preliminary final by Camden 28-14.

Bowral got off to a slow start, missing a few key tackles. The Blacks allowed Camden to dictate at the breakdown and turned over the ball on several ocassions. 

At the break Camden led 14-0. 

Bowral started the second half well as the forwards started to take control, barging their way through for a try under the post.

Following the kickoff, Camden hit straight back to take a 21-7 lead.  

Bowral managed to cross the try line five minutes later with a try to Oscar Frean.

The Blacks then put continued pressure on Camden and had a chance late in the game to level the score but were unable to capitalise on the opportunity.

Camden then sealed the victory with less than a minute left in the match.
