We ran out a fairly young first grade side, with new #10 Dylan Cadogan probably preferring the temperature in his home country of Ireland to what he had to play in today. It didn't bother him though and all aspects of his kicking game went well, he also ran in a great solo try to push us to a good 19-3 half time lead. The second half reversed the trends and we didn't get many attacking opportunities, while they made the most of their chances. When they scored a late a try we were behind 25-27 and new coach Justin Staben might have gained a few more grey hairs before we earned a penalty in front that Mitchell Jacob slotted over right on fulltime for the 28-27 win. Great job to fight it out to the finish and a well deserved win. 1pt Dylan Cadogan & Luke Wiseman, 2pts Harrisen Bowcock, 3pts to new Club Captain Jake McPhie who just kept tackling all day, even four consecutive big hits when they were trying to bash out of their own 22. Players player to Dylan Cadogan in a great debut game where he scored and converted a try, kicked a field goal and landed 5 penalties. Justin Gilmore also had his 1st Grade debut doing all the hard work in the second row with Mitch Beames in his first game for the Club at hooker. Young gun Kye Blair debuted off the bench after a good run in seconds. Big thanks to our very important returning volunteers Janelle Hall managing the canteen with Lorna Latham & Michelle Ritchie. On the bar Carolyn Sturgess & Kylie Vawdon kept the much needed liquid refreshment flowing with Richie Pogson helping out where he could. Big thanks as well to Michael Magriplis filling in as strapper/first aider. Next week all four Senior teams at the Sharkpool with grade playing Hornsby and the u19s v Woy Woy. Juniors have the bye for school holidays and the womens draw will be notified early next week .. Some photos coming later .. Cheers Boys!
It was a good day to be a spectator today, much more difficult on the other side of the touchline with 30 degree heat and strong opposition from Kariong. Gameday sponsors were Treads Tyrepower at Kincumber, fantastic long term supporters of the Club. It took the seconds a while to get control of their game but eventually they finished with a 27-7 victory. two tries each to Nathan Pickup and Daniel Reihana, one try to Adam Chettle, with Will Byrne kicking one conversion. Players player and 1pt to Cooper Elliott, 2pts Chris Newton, 3pts Daniel Reihana. Debuts at the Club for Matt Kiddle, Alex Papadatos & Pete Rose, with first games in grade to u19s Kye Blair & Ben Francis.
