When Saturday afternoon came, the Western Suburbs First Grade side played respectably without often challenging the competition leaders. The exception occurred in 1936-37, when Wests finished a point behind the premiers, Balmain. The season began terribly - on the very first afternoon, Western Suburbs was routed for 49 by Mosman, losing the game outright.

But the side rallied to win ten of its next eleven matches, and eventually needed to defeat North Sydney in the final round to take the premiership. The bowlers did all that could be expected of them, dismissing North Sydney for only 136; but the batsmen crumbled for only 103 and hopes of a title evaporated.
