Can anyone clarify what it happening with Div 1 this weekend? All cricket scores expected.

Knox - Waverley
Mosman - Petersham
Blue Mountains - Colleagues

Colleagues Forest Forfeitt? from earlier in the year - Was this confirmed?

Unsure when we will get to play Mosman - mid week or on a Sunday.
But surely the crowds want a 3rd v 4th mouth watering match up - rather than a Mosman walkover.

Just wrapping my head around the context: is this in place of the postponed Blacktown v Beecroft game from 16th July?

I see Beecroft Firsts have only played 9 games this season (1 bye, 1 washout v Blacktown) while everyone else has had 10-12.

It is. We were originally scheduled to play Blacktown this Saturday but that has been changed by subbies admin to Newport. Not too sure on the reasoning, my assumption is that playing Newport on the weekend will get all grades onto the park whereas a Blacktown fixture involving most likely only 1sts and colts could be completed midweek.

Righto Div 4 for Round 13:

Canterbury v Mac Uni - well really not sure what is going to happen here. Berries haven't taken the field since 25th June. Picking the students based on that.
Manly Savers v Redfield - Savers won the R2 fixture at Blacktown handily. They look to have added some depth since. Epping will hope Manly trip up as, even without a bonus point, Savers have more wins.
Saints v HAC - might depend how many HACers show up of course, but they've got some size and pace to do it at SnIves
Chatswood v Harbour - the Oysters to continue their undefeated season.
Merrylands v Raptors - home side with depth will have a few challenges but will do enough.
Epping v Renegades - we've got a few out this week and Epping will be driving for a big win to try and get to 2nd spot. I'm going to be sore on Sunday... hopefully still in good enough shape to run our women's tournament!

I don’t see this being mouthwatering, in fact I see mosman Walk over 2.0, from what I’ve seen from HH this year they rely to heavily on their no.12. Mosman by 10 under the Tuesday night lights

At the time Forest players were told on Thursday night it would be postponed until August 6th (this weekend) because of the rain, but then found out last week that we actually forfeited. Apparently (this part is hearsay I have no direct knowledge) *after* Forest players were told it was postponed then Colleagues said the field was open and the match could go ahead.

This is incorrect. My knowledge of the situation was that both home grounds were shut when the two sides were suppose to meet in round 8 (2nd July) therefore it was moved to the first wet weather week. Both Woollahra Oval and Melwood were open Saturday 9th July (first wet weather week). Forest were aware the whole time the game was rescheduled to 9th July, but had heaps of players away so were praying for the washout again.

Subbies insisted all games that could be played were played that week and not on August 6th (second wet weather week) as it was more than likely the second wet weather week would be needed, which has proved the case with Colleagues now having to play Blue Mountains this Saturday. Therefore Forest elected to forfeit all grades.

Ok thanks. I only know what the players got told as I no involvement with running the club and I did mention it was hearsay, so thanks for the clarification.

In this instance nice work Subbies. Newport will be everywhere come finals time so far better to field this fixture for Beecroft than a Blacktown 1s and Colts cricket score.

I see Breakers had challenged Lindfield to a 20 vs 20 boat race and they have accepted. Should be a giggle next Saturday.

May as well offer some predictions

Grade games seem pretty open and shut this week. Lindfield, Newport and Hills should win throughout.

Great colts fixtures however with some heavyweight clashes leading into finals time.

Easts (3rd) vs Lindfield (1st)

Both teams have showed their class throughout the year but Easts will need to step up in a big way if they want to knock off a flying Lindfield outfit. They came out of the blocks very slow against Beecroft and paid the price with 3 early tries creating too big of a gap to overcome despite doing well to fight back into the game in the 2nd half. From what I saw they’re a good side when the game is in an arm wrestle but fold quickly when momentum doesn’t go their way. Lindfield have class across the park with a dominant set piece and a win here could just about wrap up the minor premiership for them.

Beecroft (6th) vs Newport (2nd)

Don’t let Beecroft’s position on the table fool you, they have games in hand and are making an impressive charge towards finals. A good win against Easts last week solidifies themselves as contenders and have a backline with pace to burn often killing teams on the outside when playing on the front foot. Main weaknesses still lie in their scrum which will need to be fixed come finals time. Newport are always good at this level and have a side built on fitness and good structure. Both teams will think they have a shot winning this, should be a cracker.
