G'day Ozzie bob. The barker st pats games will be played on the bye week in August 18 i think. From what I understand make up games were not allowed this weekend due to the subbies allocation at the Wales test match being over suscribed. We need you riffing my 5th grade champ? We've had a couple of solid wins in a row and looking forward to taking on the 1st grade team pretending to be beecroft's 5th grade. Pack of w@nkers.

Crashy mate i wish i could, living in London right now, will be here another couple of years yet!

Good luck against Knox this weekend in the clash at the school, should be amazing!

Will SGOBs win div 6?
I think that they look to be a very good chance. Not bad for their first year back.... They will face tough competition from the likes of Liverpool and Clovelly. You definitely can't count out Dundas Valley - from what I hear, their 10 and 15 are two of the best players running around in that competition.

Hi Folks. Long time listener, first time caller.

Noticed there wasn't anyone from UNSW, that I could see, on these boards.

Can only write this cause I stayed around for all the matches. Not a usual thing. Also, have only come back earlier this year after a few years hiatus.

UNSW (me) v Lindfield on the weekend was a hard graft.

We played up at Wakehurst's oval (http://www.wakehurstrugby.com.au/) due to, I believe, the conditions of the Lindfield pitch.

Our Colties got up 67-0. A fair margin. Got some cracking pace and hard young men. Electric.

Fours went down 7-19. We're (still phew) sitting on top of the comp .. Have ground out some tough wins. But these boys came out of the gates with four or five blokes who took it to us, repeatedly. Played the full game, although "struggled through" might be a better description. Lethargy.

Threes got up 26-15. Can't remember much. Not a great game. Came on at half-time and propped against a exuberant young TH. Wiped the smile off his face. Ahhhh. Spirits rising.

Twos lost 23-15. Game could have gone either way really .. But it didn't. We came back with a try, five to go. Couldn't replicate for a bonus point. Sore.

Ones got up 20-0. We have some highly skilled players, but then, so did Lindfield. Difference was the first twenty. Mauled them. Middle of the game was much tighter. Very tight. Then loosened towards the end. Home James.

Playing KOB and Barbarian this weekend. Looking forward to it. Should be a cracker.

Well done to Oatley! Really hope you give them a good run for their money in the finals!

Check out the BalmainRugby Facebook page for a couple of yellow cards given against them. Not the best decisions -' wonder if they ultimately cost them the win

RC this season was always going to be a battle to avoid relegation. This year's comp has been super competitive, especially at the bottom end. Unlike last year there is no obvious cellar-dweller, and it's been a bit of a scrap between 3 or 4 clubs to avoid the drop.

At the moment we are second last, with about 130 points on Briars and about 60 behind St Ives. We have Briars in the last round, so it is going to go right down to the wire. We have Newport away this week, while Briars have Petersham at home.

A few weeks ago I would have said that it would be between us and Briars for the drop, but St Ives were swept by Newport last week and have a tough draw the last two rounds (Forest away and Balmain at home). Signs aren't good for them.

I am confident we will stay up. We lost a lot of players in June/July to holidays and injury, and have just started getting them back. We have an easier draw than both Saints and Briars. It will be close but we might just do enough.

"

No excuses, Petersham were just too good on the day and probably wanted the win more than our boys did..I'm sure the boys will learn from the loss...

The Old Farts who are coming out of retirement in their younger years:
On Saturday August 25, the Knox Old Boys RUFC is hosting an event to celebrate mateship and harness community spirit in order to raise awareness and financial support for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA. The Lifehouse is a world-class facility that combines clinical care, research, education and integrative therapies, creating opportunities for innovative research and compassionate holistic care and outcomes for cancer patients, their families and carers.
We are gathering a team of players, mostly veterans who played between 2001 and 2010, to play Mosman RUFC in a full competition 3rd grade game in the Suburban rugby Competition. Kick off is at 11.40am at Knox Grammar School, No. 1 oval, Wahroonga.
The latest statistics show cancer will touch all of us in some form during our lives. Recently two fine young men in the prime of their lives were diagnosed with Cancer. Both are brothers and mates of the Knox Community and members of the Knox Old Boys RUFC.
Tim Cussell 29, OKG 2000, was a fit and strong rugby player and sports enthusiast when in 2010 he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Today, after lifesaving surgery Tim is in remission and passionate about raising awareness of bowel cancer and the importance of the Lifehouse holistic approach. Like the late Chris O’Brien, the founder of Lifehouse and fellow cancer sufferer, Tim is using his personal experience to raise awareness and support for cancer patients and their families.
Lachlan Robertson 33, OKG 1996, loving husband and father, was diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Lach enjoyed playing rugby with the Knox Old Boys for several years but never managed to play in a match with all three of his brothers, a feat which would also break the club record. Lach will take the field with brothers Scott, Jason and Bryn for this special game and one final attempt at making club history and moving the brothers into rugby folklore.
Please join us for what will be a memorable day for all ages. Food and beverages will be flowing, with jumping castles and face painting for the kids, charity auctions and of course a fine display of champagne rugby. Every dollar raised on the day will go to Lifehouse, making a material difference to many lives in the future.
You may also show your support by calling Danae Fitzpatrick on 9515 2000 to make a credit card payment or by completing and emailing the attached form to dfitzpatrick@lifehouserpa.org.au. Please remember to reference Brothers IV Brothers. Donations are fully tax deductible.
We would like to thank our generous corporate sponsors who have come onboard to support this special cause.
Please join us to make this day one for the ages.

I went out to Macquarie Uni to watch some of the games yesterday.
When i arrived there were people at the gate charging a $10 entry fee!
What a joke. If it was at a proper stadium i wouldn't mind a $5 fee or so to cover the ground hire cost, but $10 to watch a park rugby game is ridiculous.

I don't mind paying, as long as the money is put back into rugby. A lot worse ways to spend a tenner.
