Sorry but just a quick wrap of the Seniors games (busy weekend) .. Up at a very cold Slade Park The Lakes were too good on the day and took victory in all 3 grades. 3rds was close, finishing at 7-12, the gap a little bigger in 2nds 20-31, with 1sts on the wrong end of a 31-46 scoreline. Congratulations to Adam Chettle, a Country u18s rep last season, who today got his first game time in first grade - scoring a try and impressing with some try saving defence. Best wishes from all of us at the Club to Jakob van der Bruggen for a quick recovery after his injury during 3rd grade today, as always huge thanks to Stan Priestley for his exceptional care of our injured players. At Kariong our Womens 7s team had a great day against the Hornsby squad, winning both games, 32-5 and 19-10!

After a weekend off Club Rugby it games on tomorrow! In the Seniors the three mens grade teams are playing away at the Lakes with 3rds starting the day at 1230pm, all games will be tough against a Club that is much improved this season. The u19s have the bye. Our Womens 7s are playing Hornsby at Kariong, later times than usual - 1:00 and 2:40pm. The u16s have a bye, 17s have won on a forfeit, The u15 & u17 Girls teams are at Ettalong Oval tonight from 630pm, the first games under the new lights they have there. The u15s are playing Terrigal Blue at The Haven at 8:40am. All of other teams are at The Sharkpool on starting with the u7s at 8:00am right through to the u13s kicking off at 12:20pm. The weather looks like being dry and cool, great conditions for the players ... spectators will need to get a few extra layers on and get to as many games as you can to support all of our players! Cheers Boys!
Yep that was cold on sidelines, much warmer on the field for the Senior Sharks teams. First game of the day was the u19s playing Hamilton Hawks in Newcastle and going down 14-45. A tough match for the boys but the experience will be handy when they get back to playing local teams. Tries to Henry Cumming & Matt Peebles with Reece Jacobs kicking two conversions. 1pt Adam Peruch, 2pts Tristan Morris-bowyer & Harry Magriplis, 3pts Harry Layton with Henry Cumming the players player. AT Woy Woy Oval the womens 7s faced up to the strong Woy Woy team and in the first game played great rugby to just lose 7-15. Second was a bigger margin but no less effort 0-24. 1pt Zali Seisun, 2pts Ally Woutersz,3pts and players player Taylah Welsh. Then to Gosford Showground and the thirds with a good 19-7 win against a team that is always strong. Thanks to all of the u19s who jumped straight off the bus to help out. Special mention to Chris Lewis & Rylie Lewis who added to our long history of father/son combinations playing together in the centres. Tries to Daniel Ranson, Shane McMillan & Chris Lewis, conversions to Rylie Lewis & Ben Orman. 1pts Ben Orman & Chris Lewis, 2pts Rob Magrath, 3pts Jakob van der Bruggen with Ben Orman the players player. Second grade had only their second loss of the season missing out 19-31. Lots of good work during the game just didnt get translated into points. Tries to Nathan Pickup, Matt Peebles & Matt Kiddle, conversions Matt Kiddle & Will Byrne. 1pt Matt Kiddle, 2pts Kye Blair, 3pts and players player Chris Newton. Again thanks to the u19s who all had strong games. On to first grade and it became a very tough assignment very early in the match when to the surprise of everyone, and especially Pete, Pete Steele was shown a red card. What it did allow to happen was for the other players to show that they had the strength and courage to battle against the odds and grab the win 22-19. Huge effort by everyone, but especially the very young forward pack. When Luke Sheridan had to leave the field - five of the seven forwards were players from last years Premiership winning u19s team, including Aidan King making his first grade starting debut in the second row. I could have written something about every player today, all of them at some time doing something exceptional in defence or attack to keep us in the game. Great team effort in securing the 4 ladder points. Tries to Liam Donsworth, Daniel Reihana & Joe Carroll, Dylan Cadogan landing 2 conversions and a penalty. 1pt Joe Carroll, 2pts Aidan King, 3pts Harrisen Bowcock with players player shared between Harrisen Bowcock & Dylan Cadogan. The day finished on a less impressive note when the Golden Schooner was lost to the home team. Next week is a general bye, except for the Womens 7s who will be playing at Ourimbah. Then Grade away to The Lakes.
Congratulations to Aidan King on making his 1st grade starting debut today,. For most of the game he had the role of being the big man on the field and he loved the responsibility & the workload. None of us surprised by how well he did, fantastic to see him getting the opportunity!
