West Harbour are more likely to strike up a partnership with Drummoyne than us, which is weird because we've had a number of people involved at WH before or after us. There is a massive disconnect - I'd describe it as a gulf - for absolutely 0 reason as Pfitzy alludes to. Prem clubs can...

I'm not going to even acknowledge the first part of that statement (I'd be angry too knowing the Renegades Roll could never reach the lofty heights of the Briars Burger) but as for the drop-in pitches, I think Drummoyne would get first preference from Canada Bay Council and they can't even get...

They won the top 3 grades again (and I assume the Club Championship again, I think that's like 12 seasons in a row). Cricket pitch was a bit of a bog this weekend and the trials were cancelled. Ground otherwise looked good when I went and had a squiz the other day (before the rain).

Yep - unfortunately any time you step on the field it could be the last game of your season or worse. Bones and tissue have no regard for premiership points status. Sorry to hear and hope he (and anyone else hurt already) heals up alright over time.

I think we'd all love at see that at all levels of the game - unfortunately everyone is too proud to work together for the betterment of the sport as a whole rather than their own club at the upper end of town

This is the main issue - unfortunately there is a long way to go until women's comps can be fully integrated IMO. At Briars, our women's team established themselves in the Sydney Women's comp (equivalent to Shute, kinda) before the Joy Johnson was a thing at all. This year, our first ever...

Wollondilly - Div 6 2015 UoW - Radford 2018, 2019 (and yes, they had red and white hoops and blue sleeves) This is all from annual reports and I have confirmed UoW had no seniors in those seasons in those reports

Not sure if they ever did "leave" but they played Radford Colts and Halligans up here for a time. They also play (or at least played) in the Sydney Women's comps too.

Just saw this Pfitzy - think you'll find "Wests" is a short lived entry from West Harbour/Western Suburbs. Their annual reports from the era show a brief foray into Subbies

Yeah I figured (same with UOW I assume) but I'm looking purely at Subbies

Two former district clubs that have their areas relatively to themselves - you'd hope so. If they can't make it work, we're all stuffed.

Unless I'm missing something, we've lost 11 clubs (in one form or another) since the end of 2019 according to the annual reports. UOW were involved in Subbies but, as soon as COVID hit, have had no presence since then. Engadine, Dee Why/Terrey Hills haven't played since 2020 (although Terrey...

Updates from the Subbies website for Div 2 with the full draws (sans kick-off times) released: All clubs have 3 grades (Barraclough, Stockdale, Blunt) - all except Irish also have a 4ths (Richardson), replaced by Waverley's 6th XV Reports of Forest's demise are (so far) greatly exaggerated as...

In fairness, I think those involved and with skin in the game have been kept abreast of the potential changes. Doesn't mean they can change Subbies' minds, but I don't think anyone worth their position as a club rep would have been blindsided. Interesting the "switch" between Divs 4 and 5 is...

It's so confusing - numerically you have in the same way we got promoted to Div 2 when they split it after the joint season. I agree though with your assessment of the reality of the situation

Balmain now Div 4 - assume they still have Colts?

From the website (changes underlined): Division One is a six-team competition with clubs competing for the Kentwell, Burke, Barbour (U21 Colts), Whiddon, Judd and Sutherland Cups. Teams (8): Blue Mountains, Colleagues, Drummoyne, Hunters Hill, Lindfield, Mosman, Newport (+1), Waverley Division...

Not much help 35 mins into the first half

Distinct memories of calling the final game before 2021 got abandoned - HAC came to Rothwell and we played them in 1s. One of their players got carded and picked up the 50m flag, javelined it towards the pavilion (not many on the ground, thankfully) and then kicked a chair off the bench...

That's a club decision IMO but if they were struggling for numbers I get it - no point fielding a 1st grade side when those blokes have backed up from 3s and 2s. Once they started fielding a 4th grade though it was a different story for me
