Sydney Subbies 2025

[TinRattler]

Camden plays in the Illawarra comp same as Campbelltown

Also enjoyed reading the death of subbies club thread but at the same time bloody disheartening to see so many clubs lost to the game

Yeah I figured (same with UOW I assume) but I'm looking purely at Subbies

Solid hitout for LCOI today at Leichhardt Oval No.2 against Balmain and Macquarie Uni in somewhat warm conditions.
For LCOI it was a strong defensive performance keeping both Balmain and Mac Uni scoreless in all games,.
Looking forward to next Saturday with Knox Old Boys and Old Barker travelling to Tantallon.
Also heard via the bush telegraph that St Ives struggled to field a full side today against Savers.

I guess as long as they have colts…

Is UoW the Uni of Wollongong? Because if so, when did they leave the Illawarra comp?

Renegades went to Yattenden today. Bit of confusion with the grades over 4 periods.

Renegades played 2, 1, 2, 1
Hills played 2, 2, 1, 1

So on a couple of those periods were relatively easy for the first grade sides.

When it was 2nd v 2nd and 1st v 1st they were quite good matchups

Not sure if they ever did "leave" but they played Radford Colts and Halligans up here for a time. They also play (or at least played) in the Sydney Women's comps too.

University of Wollongong had a Colts side play in the Radford Cup around 2016/17. From memory their jersey was like the stars and stripes. No seniors side.

Wollondilly also played in Sydney Subbies for a season probably around a dozen years ago.

Wollondilly - Div 6 2015
UoW - Radford 2018, 2019 (and yes, they had red and white hoops and blue sleeves)

This is all from annual reports and I have confirmed UoW had no seniors in those seasons in those reports

Wollondilly tends to come and go as an entity. Remember they would feature in the Illawarra comp one year but not the next. Playing put of Appin from memory.

They also played with 2 Grades in Subbies back in 2009

Of those, 7 no longer exist in any form. Covies merged with Iggies.

Four others still exist in their own right, and roughly the same size despite every bit of effort put in by some great people over 15 years:
Renegades
Chatswood
Harlequins

That was a decent bus trip out Picton too. Required two stops on the way back.....

Seem to recall playing out there on the day of a federal election. There may or may not have been some souveniring of election posters.

For us it was shooting straight down the M7 and then the short turnoff to Wilton.

So what was the wrap from round the grounds from the first week of most clubs trials?
Who impressed?
Who is in for a long year?
Who got burnt in the sun?

Intersting how some of the Div 1 clubs are spacing there trials as they don’t start till after Easter.

I went to Yattenden on Saturday as its a stones throw from my place.
Hills looked strong as usual and a class above, which you would expect from a contending Div 2 1st grade dropping a division.

I've noticed plenty of Div 1 clubs are venturing out of Sydney to kick off the trials campaign.

Could this be due to the earlier start for Div 2 along with an uncharacteristic Easter Break right before round 1? I think it's safe to say with ANZAC day falling on a Friday this year, most of the footy on Saturday may be unwatchable.

Or hilarious?

Too right Pfitzy. Too right!

How do you think Hills will fare in div 3 this year?
