Talbot won a hard-fought contest by six points, 10.11 (71) to 10.5 (65).

Royal Park is the oldest of the two amalgamating clubs having been formed in 1934, while Rovers' history dates back to 1966.

The two clubs confirmed in March they were in discussions to "explore the exciting opportunity to amalgamate from next season", with the decision reached by the end of April to cease as rivals and join together.
