Would not be surprised if Chatswood is Gordon 4th colts and Manly 4th colts is in there somewhere.
Can tell you with certainty Chatswood has no link with Gordon. Despite our best efforts over the years Gordon have shown very little interest in working with us.

Division 2 draw looks like four grades and colts for everyone as well.
4th grade will be a reduced competition most likely.
I know Beecroft wont have a fourth grade, and will be surprised if Epping, Briars or Hills have 4th grade, based on the facts (rumors) floating around.
Newport and UNSW are maybes.
St Pat's, Petersham would assume they do.

A 4th grade operating only every second week may actually work well noting 4th grade can often be old boys team, with a lower level of commitment.

Which is a tragedy for rugby in general in the area and makes zero sense.
Gordon has a number of Clubs within their catchment to be fair. Chatswood, Lindfield, LCOI, Knox, Barker, St Ives and I've probably missed some. Can't be bothered would be my guess but also may not want to favour one? Just because Chatswood also chucked a Stag on their logo doesn't mean little brother.

LCOI played a trial v Gordon lower grades I saw.

Pfitzy it’s Crisis meeting after crisis meeting. Is there a pending announcement around some DIV 2 solutions?

In DIV 1 Im hearing the Whales are back to full strength this year with players to burn.
Forest have had an under the radar build up. Any word from Melwood on how they are shaping up?

Anyone have any Div 3 tips for Rd 1? Looks like a great comp in 1st Grade
I’ll have a crack.

Old Barker v LCOI - Both clubs with disappointing campaigns last year, they’ll be keen to start on the right note. LCOI will be especially up for this as they start a new era in this game. I still think BOBS will have enough at home to take this out. Old Barker by 7

Merrylands v Sydney Irish - McLean cup grand final rematch should be a cracker. I think Irish will be more prepared in this early season encounter with match fitness a big factor. Irish by 5

Hawkesbury Valley v Knox - Match of the round for me. Two contenders doing battle should give an early insight into the Clark cup standard for this season. I think Knox will be hungry after a strong second half of last year and see them getting up in a close battle. Knox by 1

Sydney Harlequins v Sydney Harbour - I don’t think last years premiers will show any signs of slowing down. I see them winning comfortably at Waterloo. Harbour by 14

I don't think numbers were a problem for them last year? Just quality at the right times. Colts numbers were definitely down
