After last week's rainy affair down in Warren, it was blue skies and perfect conditions up in Walgett for the Western Plains Rugby Union Major Semifinals on 9 August.

And with matchups as good as Saturday's, they deserved a decent spell of weather.

First up was the women's tri-tag between Gulargambone Flamin Galahs and the Coonamble Rams, in one of the most intense and physical games of tri-tag this year.

It was Gulargambone who would walk away as victors, beating the Rams 26-21.

The afternoon game was an absolute must-watch.

A rivalry as deep as it goes; every match between Walgett and Nyngan always proves for good viewing.

But in this rematch of last year's Grand Final it would be Walgett who got the job done, with a rather convincing 38-20 win.

A game that could only be described as incredible.

Lead changes, momentum swings, individual brilliance and a down-to-the-wire finish - finals footy doesn’t get much better than that.

Gulargambone shot out to the early lead through their fullback Paige Wilson, but the Rams would take the 7-5 lead shortly after through Gemma Fitzgerald.

Gular fired off two more quick tries to end the half, once more through Paige Wilson and then again through Sharna Steedman.

But there was a noticeable confidence about the Rams in the halftime huddle, their physicality was rattling the undefeated Gulargambone, and they had the belief they could pull off the win.

They were not wrong either, with two quick tries going the way of the Rams first through Amy Ibbott and then again when the Rams were awarded a penalty try after Kathryn Alchin was impeded from putting the ball down after a Gulargambone professional foul.

The Rams then led 21-19, and they looked for all money to finally break their Gular hoodoo.

But cometh the moment, cometh the champion, it was yet again Paige Wilson who broke Rams hearts, crossing over under the posts with minutes remaining to give Gular the lead.

The game's final moments were played out in the middle, and the full-time whistle blew.

Gulargambone continue their undefeated run and punch their ticket for this year's Ahren's Cup grand final.

As for the Rams, they now face the old enemy Walgett for a chance to redeem themselves against Gular in the grand final.

A game of monster proportions, the best two teams all year meeting once again for a shot at a grand final berth.

But despite the promise, the game fell a little flat.

Nyngan shot out of the gates quickly, kicking the opening points and scoring the first try in the fifteenth minute.

Walgett looked stunned by the intensity of the Bogan Bulls.

But it wasn’t to last.

The Rams worked themselves into the game, winning a key turnover deep in their half and working the ball to the Bulls' try line to get themselves on the board in the 25th minute.

From then on, the points came thick and fast.

Tries in the 35th, 45th and 49th minutes pushed the lead out to 30-13 with thirty minutes to go.

A further try with ten minutes to go sealed the game, and Walgett led 35-10.

Nyngan were awarded a penalty try in the 78th minute, but by then it was too little too late for the Bulls.

Walgett will again host this year's grand final, winning 38-20.

As for the Bogan Bulls, they now face Warren at home next week for a chance to meet Walgett in the grand final.
