In Round 19 of the Senior Pathways, the Bulldogs celebrated their first win in the Harvey Norman Women's Premiership with a closely contested 12-10 victory over the Wests Tigers at Lidcombe Oval.
This match mirrored the success of their NRLW counterparts.
While the Bulldogs' women's team triumphed, both Jersey Flegg Cup sides faced defeats; however, the Ron Massey Cup team enjoyed a high-scoring victory against Blacktown.
In the women's match, the Bulldogs made a remarkable comeback after trailing 10-nil at halftime.
NRLW-signed centre Sarahcen Oliver made a significant impact, scoring two tries within just six minutes.
The scoring showed a diverse effort, with seven tries coming from seven different players.
Jayden Smith initiated the scoring just two minutes into the game, followed by Sosaia Kaufusi in the 15th minute, and Roy Tatapu, who scored just before halftime to give the Bulldogs a 16-14 advantage.
In the NSW Cup, the Bulldogs' performance fell short as they were decisively beaten at North Sydney Oval, with Melbourne storming back in the second half; despite Jones closing the gap with his double, a late try from the hosts secured their win.
