In the Premier league shute shield super rugby comp it looks as though Forest will need a miracle to avoid relegation. Great to see Old Soldier holding their own too.

In the Mickey Mouse comp Newport secured the Barraclough Cup Minor premiership with an entertaining win over Petersham. With 2 rounds to go + 2 wet weather games next Saturday it’s game on with 5 clubs still in contention to fill places 2-4 and secure a finals spot Hills vs Briars &...

Petersham v Newport game moved to Porters after Shammies council closed the ground due to the boggy cricket pitch. Tough on them but massive for the Breakers!

Div 2 Plenty of moving parts with key clashes likely to end some campaigns and a clearer picture of the finals series should be known by 4.45pm Saturday! Petersham v Newport: The Shammies Barraclough campaign is all but over, but I still think this is a danger game for the undefeated...

Brutal

4 games to go in a rain impacted season. Id suggest every club has its work cut out to will keep players, particularly lower graders engaged, to see out the season.

Could be a few Minor Premierships decided on the day along with the Club Championships. Newport has its ladies day along with the 10 year Reunion of the 2014 Barraclough Cup team. Given every home game bar Petersham was pissing down I'd say conservatively its cost Newport $50k in turnover. A...

That grounds done for the season!

If they didnt get rain overnight Porters was to be open. We got 20 mm.

Everyone sweating on the public servants to do the right thing and let the boys play. Mid week games it is

The days of players backing up Sat-Sun are long gone, even more so over several weekends. If previous wash outs cannot be played for double points they should be called draws. Cards fall where they land.

Given we are 2/3rds through the season not sure why council are doing this as its not about ensuring they get through the winter. Arent they there to be used?

Newport got smashed in a super cell yesterday dropping 60mm of rain! Thankfully heaps of wind forecast this arvo so the sea breeze will work its magic.

Hills beating St Pats was huge. The battle for the four is Div 2 is well and truly alive. Newport 38 St Pats 23 Hills. 23 Briars. 18 UNSW. 18 Beecroft 14 Hills vs Briars and UNSW vs Newport are the outstanding wet weather games. Looking at St Pats their run home is Briars...

We hosted Petersham in rd 6. I thought they were very solid and played hard across the grades. Their 3s and colts were their highlights but 1s and 2s not far behind. Maybe the stop start nature of the seasons weather has impacted them. They should be playing semis in 2s, 3s and colts.

Div 2 Petersham v UNSW: This is it, double points will make or break the finals hopes of either team. Both clubs have faced some dramas this year and I'll go with the home team to get the job done in a spiteful passionate clash. For the loser the lower grade stack begins from next week...

Ran into some players at Four Pines for Origin and they confirmed they are playing UNSW on the wet weather round. So not sure where that leaves Petersham v UNSW make up game. Maybe this weekend is an all or nothing double points fixture?

So when is the Newport catch up game being played? This also assumes there isn’t anymore wash outs this season, which is a strong likelihood given already wet grounds and the rain forecast over the weeks ahead.

I wonder if UNSW and Petersham are playing for double points this weekend? Given UNSW also have a make up game against Newport and only one wet weather week in play will be interesting to see what they do.

Referees ultimately decide is the surface is unplayable. The issue is contested scrums where the danger lies.
