Is there a list of washed out games for this weekend?

I am unsure of the logistics/back end of the arranagement, but I think it is good subbies have adapted and allowed things like this to happen, particularly on weeks that clubs like Us and Pats have been short it has definitely helped.

Inconsistent sides have hurt us, but the last month has been good. If everyone was on the park we would be able to give it a real shake. Thankfully some weeks we have been able to share players with St Pats which has allowed us to keep our teams competitive. Then we have some guys who can't play...

I foresee alot of games will be washed out this weekend, even with a sunny forecast. I hope everyone keeps it in perspective and understands this is not the fault of subbies. We can not be blaming the board as most grounds are council owned and we have little control.

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...

Pakalani came down last year as he worked with the coach. Unfortunately, he lived no where near St Ives so it was probably never a permanent option. He is playing Rugby League over at Concord which is the area where he lives. Combined with the $$$ that he can get per game playing league, he was...

We were not expecting to make the move up to a tough division 4 competition after a few tough years in the lower divisions. Especially given that we were graded above clubs like Hawkesbury Valley, Harlequins, Western Raptors, Merrylands, Epping, Sydney Harbour etc. It was a clear sign from the...

Divisional changes occurring as we speak. I for one can not believe we are still talking about this!

Come on over to Hassell Park tomorrow at 3pm to watch St ives take on Maccabi. We are certainly going ahead. It looks to be a belter of an afternoon!

The Epping option doesn't seem so bad after all.

Irish come into the top two divisions and we go back to 8x7x8 in the top three divisions.

Maybe your committee should call an extraordinary meeting to protest the result? Ring up other clubs and rally support to side with you.

Burraneer took out the Jeffrey Cup yesterday. They were far too aggressive and physical for Manly. They went out to 50-0 before taking the foot off the accelerator, and cleared the bench. Manly ran in 4 or so consolation tries but the game was done by halftime. It is interesting Burraneer used...

To be fair to Epping, in 2023 they were meant to be in Division 3 and only moved up to Division 2 a week before the season when all the clubs in Division 2 were complaining about being in a 6 team comp. Subbies sent an SOS and Epping agreed to do a favour to the competition. Move forward a year...

I went out to Wills Ground yesterday. I am not sure why Div 4 gets a goat track while the top divisions are looked after. Raptors came from 26-12 down to beat Renegades 28-26. Renegades looked good but are a really unfit team. It was not a terrific level with two big teams with not much plans...
