Portland 7 - Newport 68
A tough day for the boys in Red. A very strong Newport side came to the Dougherty St. field with a mission and kept the pressure on for a full 80 minutes. Despite some success at the line-out, Portland missed plenty of first-up tackles, allowing the strong Newport runners to keep the ball in play past the gain line. Tom Lovering provided the only tally for Portland off a lineout driven in close followed by a series of puch balls.

Portland 33 - Charles River 10
Portland pulled away in the second half behind the tactical kicking of flyhalf Leo Sheidel and the solid play of new scrumhalf Eric "Woody" Wood. Marc Fournier and Todd Roma scored tries while wing Duncan McDougal and newcomer lock James Cannon were tough around the pitch.
