Do we think we will see Subbies clubs embrace the Friday night games like the Shute clubs are doing? With the bigger clubs running 6 grades and colts plus Women’s it means a long day and early start to fit it all in on a Saturday.
Yes I’m aware it’s dependent on clubs having adequate lighting and the extra effort for volunteers.
Friday night for the smaller clubs may appeal to guys who don’t play due to kids sports or work commitments.

Just starter playing in the hunter comp in their friday night 4th grade comp. 9 team comp, 2 games played at 2 venues each fri night, the bigger clubs host all 4 games if they have 2 fields. So only 1 or 2 clubs have to play host each friday night. 16 round comp (i think haha) so each club only needs to host twice, which takes the pressure off having volunteers available every second week to host. Games are only 25min halves so the night is not that long. 6.20pm game and 7.15pm game. All do done within 3 hours really.

Been great for me who doesnt want to commit to saturdays and training.

With Div 1 having a well deserved break next week….
We have some huge match ups.

Div 2 UNSW vs Petersham
Div 3 Beecroft vs Hills
Div 4 Wakehurst vs St Ives

Could be a prelude to some Grand finals next week!

@Heavyd any clue what happened at breakers today? Seems like Newport slept on the wrong side of the bed. How will the boys bounce back after two brutal weeks in Division 1?

colts - 43-12 to Newport.

From what I saw Newport were exceptional hosts and really looked after Lindfield. Lindfield won a tight one in 2’s and won an arm wrestle in 1’s. Thoughts with the two Newport players that got absolutely koed going in for big hits and came off worst.

I’d imagine they are very much looking forward to a week off especially with the Mountain men rolling into town the week after… Won’t that be an amazing bus trip

Mid Divisions predictions.

Predictions Div 3
Beecroft over Iggies - 50+ in all grades. Beecroft are a quality outfit.
Hornsby over Blacktown - This one will be close. Hornsby to win 39-33.
Hills over Knox - I expect a back and forth game but Hills to come home strong in the last 20 and win by 14.

Predictions Div 4
Wakehurst over Balmain - What a match this is. Wakehurst at home is a hard task for any club in subbies. Wakehurst by 7.
Chatswoover over Mac Uni - A hard year for the Beacons. Chatswood are better than their ladder position suggests.
St Ives over Kings - A deep deep roster with big numbers this week for both sides. We look forward to welcoming Barker to Hassall in 2s as well. St Ives by 3.

I have not followed the lower divisions as much but good luck to those clubs as well.

@crushermoran tough week for your high flying boys. Bit of a reality check especially with a nasty Red Card thrown in for that tackle. How will the boys bounce back with out there leader round the park in Abbott?

Mid Divisions predictions.

Predictions Div 3
Beecroft over Iggies - 50+ in all grades. Beecroft are a quality outfit.

Two from three for LCOI at Headen plus a win on the bell against Maccabi for 3rds.
Went down 45-15 in 1st with Beecroft backline being extremely sharp and entertaining to watch.

I genuinely something like this but with 10s would be ideal.

Yes Newport were exceptional hosts, letting Lindfield score 52 points. Very generous indeed lol
