Word on the street is that HAC's day of trials has been cancelled due to the weather.
I was under the impression that as a private ground they always played but perhaps not.

Spoke to HAC today - Council closed all their grounds in the area, so despite the No 2 Oval at HAC being "bone dry" it was closed as well. Relieved.
Other phone calls today turned this up:
Menai might go up to 4th Div as a 2-team operation. They'll enjoy the level of competition up there I think as they've proven themselves well in Div 6 and then 5 over the last few years. They're rightfully sick of beating everyone to a pulp in the bottom 2 Divisions, and can't do any worse than we did last year.
Literally.
Fucking.
Can't.
Terrey Hills are goneskis.
The makeup of Divisions 5 and 6 therefore won't be finalised until something can be worked out in terms of it becoming either regional or broken down into 4 x 2 Grade clubs + nearby participants in Div 5 + The Rest in Div 6

Looking at the numbers: if Kings Old Boys and Dundas can't get into regular competition, that leaves 14 teams sifting around Div 5/6, and therefore I think Subbies would look at a single Division and some kind of playoffs.

It’s all up in the air at the moment. Hoping that some more clubs can try to get at least an occasional second grade to make the whole split a bit easier.
That's going to be a bugger to sort out.
Would be interested to hear from any of Roseville's or Terrey Hill's former players as to what the go is.
Anywho, there's a trial 5-some going down at Wakehurst tomorrow arvo between Chatswood, Dee Why, Dukes, Lane Cove and Wakehurst.
From a personal prospective Lane Cove numbers are good with solid numbers showing at training to field two sides. However, Colts this year are struggling for numbers.

We’ve got a trial tomorrow at Blacktown with Blacktown and Macquarie Uni. Hopefully going to be a good day!
To be honest (generally, i'm a compulsive fibber) not too sure of the mechanics of last years Colts age groups as not involved with the admin but to go from two sides to barely one is disappointing.
The Colts sides of previous years have served and benefited the club in feeding the seniors. A fair few of the first Colts side of three years ago have stuck around.

Its not far from my place, so I may get the opportunity to drop down and have a look at some point. Pending other engagements and all that.

DIV 3 stuff
Forest played Newport, Terrigal and an impressive Canberra club on Saturday.
Newport colts looked sharp, Forest looked like they have plenty of numbers and the club from Canberra was very solid.
In other news Brothers have had two consecutive weather cancelled trials with Saturdays cancellation also impacted Iggies.
Challenge for many clubs is to maintain player momentum at training with Easter weekend and then crossfingers for round 1 turnouts.

5 way trial
Credit must go to the ref who covered 8 of the 9 trials. Unfortunately the Wakehurst player who had the whistle for the 1st game between Lane Cove and Dukes took a nasty knock to the head when he was running around for Wakehurst.
Cheers to Wakehurst for the hosting the day too.

Conditions where tough for the first few games but by mid afternoon had cooled down significantly.
I would say that all the sides generally were fairly even. Bit had to gauge how things are going when the games were only 20 minutes in duration, some even less. To use a mixed metaphor, no point crying over the way the cookie crumbles. Great to have a run around again though after 6 months off.Credit must go to the ref who covered 8 of the 9 trials.

There is substance to that rumour from what i saw. Fairly close to having a full side on the side lines when their trials were on. Whether that number of players can sustain two sides over a full season is another question. Maybe an optional second grade side is a better bet as per last season.
I hope Chatswood can stay in Div 5 as it's always good battle between us.
