The Leopards would complete the regular season unbeaten in conference play.  With a revision in the playoff format there are only 4 teams in the Division 1 playoff.  East earned the 3 seed.  That being the case, they drew Herriman in the Semi Final round as a 2 seed and an unbeaten team in their conference respectively.  Herriman got off to a hot start and put up a couple of scores early in the match.  The Leopards would battle back toward the end of the first half with a Try by Fa Toli.  The score at half time would be 24 to 7.  The Leopards would gain some new momentum in the second half but would ended up trading scores with Herriman.  Loa Kaufusi would score on an 80 meter try with the offload from Napa Nuusa.  Gavin Herd would score off of a Connor Allison run from the back of the scrum.  The last score would come from the pick and jam in the forward pack with PJ Leaaetoa being the benefactor.  It would not be enough and the final score would be Herriman 41 to 26.  This puts the Leopards in the 3rd place game for championship weekend against cross town rival Highland High.
