Shute Shield 2016

[GunnerDownUnder]

Monday of the long weekend -- assuming the rain has stopped by then?

Was told games are scheduled for Tuesday but weather will postpone them again to the next Tuesday most likely

And posting on far more relevant and bigger subjects than pats on the head in SS rugby it seems !

Yes - a few tweeeeeeets, puts his GAGR contributions to shame.

TV game next week is Beasties v Wicks @ Jim Barry Vineyard

 

[The Butts]

17-12 to Norths at HT
Best try of year so far- ruck on Gordon 5 and they have ball, SH passes to norths player in goal from base of ruck for him to score
Pitch is not virginal here!

Does that mean the Norths player was offside, or just extremely quick

Building myself an Ark to sail to the game.

Been a bit of chatter this year on clubs and their money management;

Bit of a wrap for grass roots rugby.

Southern Districts vs West Harbour scheduled for next Tuesday 14th with 2's at 6.30 and 1's at 8

When you are a schoolboy graduate playing first grade rugby, it's probably a good idea not to try and be the team's enforcer.

Then Tolu Latu pays tribute to Cassius Clay, which may result in a visit to Judiciary. 10 seconds to go in a match you've already lost. Why risk it?

I just watched the game, how did the touchie miss that?

Long weekend Monday looks like a possibility!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

According to the NSW Premiership web site the deferred games will be played as follows:
Hobbits v Pirates on 14 June at 1800 (1st Grade) lower grades on Forshaw 2.

Randi-Wix v M2B on 13 June at 1500 (1st Grade)

MMM v Beasts on TBC (probs 13 June as per post above)

Rats v Emu (Lower Grades only) on TBC

Gordon v Shoremen (4th Grade only) on 14 June at 1900.

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

HJ you going off fixtures list?

Don't think they are correct for Forshaw it has 4's on secondary pitch at 18:30 then 3's at 19:45
And 1's on main pitch at 18:00 and 2's at 18:30

It's 18:30 and 20:00 kicks offs, two games each pitch

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ Yes. I wondered about the timings.

3's and 4's on the back oval at Forshaw make sense, but it is a bit of a goat track and I've seen the ball hit the power lines crossing the field more than once from a clearing kick.
