The final club titles will be handed out this weekend with plenty of big clashes on the cards.
Sydney Uni and Warringah will face off in the Shute Shield while Nedlands and Cottesloe fight it out for the FMG Premier Grade Premiership Division crown in WA.
Melbourne and Box Hill are the final two in Victoria.
SHUTE SHIELD
Warringah coach Mark Gerrard says his side won’t be thinking about their 2018 grand final disappointment when they take on Sydney Uni in this year’s Shute Shield decider at Bankwest Stadium.
The Rats were left heartbroken last year after losing to Uni in the grand final but Gerrard said this season had been a new start for the team.
“Some of the guys mentioned it during the week and I kind of squashed that,” he said.
“I don't want anything to do with last year, last year's last year and I believe we're a different side.
“It's going to be a pretty tough ask tomorrow and we know it's going to be quite a physical battle.
“We just want to be able to control what we do, be quite abrasive but really enjoy the moment.
“That's rugby, it's a really good occasion to play at Bankwest (Stadium) for both teams, to get this opportunity at the end of the season.
“It's only fitting, rewarding for our group of young men so I'm really looking forward to that challenge as well.”
In his first year as coach, the former Wallaby said he aimed to make things fun for the team, focusing on the amateur roots of Shute Shield.
“I wanted to challenge this group differently - probably a little bit more enjoyment this year than last year, not anything against anyone else but it was just about the way I perceived that we should do things,” he said.
“That part of it should be rewarding tomorrow and hopefully we can take our opportunities but just really enjoy the moment because this moment might not come again for a few years.”
Gerrard said Sydney Uni’s set piece shaped as the biggest threat going into the match, after the students stormed their way into finals this season.
“I know they've been really dominant this year through set piece. For us, it's just about doing what we do and what we do well,” he said.
“We know they like to control the territory game, we've been working pretty hard on our back three but at the same time we want to be quite abrasive ourselves and really take it to Sydney uni, which we know they're quite a physical side.
“We just want to be really up for the occasion, hopefully the rewards come at the end.”
Warringah will stay farewell to long-time captain Hamish Angus in the match after the flyhalf announced his retirement this week.
