Sydney Subbies 2025

Wasn’t so much referring to the score line but the cases of beer for each grade and food. A big crowd at Porters that witnessed a tit for tat match where both sides looked good. Allen had a great game at 10 but wasn’t supported. Grace on the other hand was back to his best and played the house down.

Although Lindfield ending up winning convincingly it was a great game of footy
The cases of beers and the food would definitely have been appreciated, although I did hear that Lindfields club captain while leaving the club house after the boat race was having cans thrown at him as he left. I don’t see that behaviour as acceptable and do hope that the Newport players who took part get more then a slap on the wrist. Unacceptable behaviour and not a good look for the Breakers.

Hahahah man Newport is HATED in here. I’ve never had the pleasure of playing at Porters but it must be a vicious environment for the sheer number of blokes who despise them in here
I think you will find most of the comments are coming from Lindfield accounts who went very quiet after a poor Week 1. Youll find them in and out throughout the season based off if they are winning or not.

Any news on Colleagues. A few new recruits playing but decided to bottle a 9 point lead with 1 minute left in the game? The old boys surely wouldnt have been happy with that.

Waverley were brave down to 14 men and getting within 3 of HH.

Drummoyne looked in for a long afternoon early but kept the game respectable without ever looking likely.

Big day at Porters with the club again deliverying subbies lands biggest crowd to watch an entertaining day.

7-7 in 4ths with a strong defensive effort from our little charges keeping the 400kg Old Soldier front row at bay as best they could.

The woman came from behind to beat Barker in an entertaining clash featuring the odd classic belling ringers from both teams.

3rds featured some heroic decisions that saw Newport receive 4 yellows whilst Old Soldier (who the crowd dubbed the karate kid) stayed on the field.. I've never witnessed a player on multiple occasions kick players takewondo style with footy boots on. Thank god for NSW Rugby TV.

2nds was a real arm wrestle and 13-13 was probaly the just result until heartbreak on the last play of the day saw Old Soldier run 50m to score on the bell. Well played Lindfield.

1sts Still scratching my head on this one. Newport on top for the first 35 mins and looking extend their lead from 10-3 dropped the ball that saw Lindfield toe it 95 metres to score. Another quick try from them saw them go into the break leading 17-10 leaving the big crowd stunned as most of the action had been deep in Lindfields half. Two players yellow carded for a late high shot followed by a melee was the talking point of the 1st half. Lindfield turned it up a gear in the 2nd half and their excellent #13 tore us to shreds. Newport had 3 blue cards but were out played by Lindfield who played some excellent support running rugby.

Side note: I spoke to a guy wearing a Norths Rugby hat and asked him what he was doing at Porters. Perhaps word has got out that Lindfield has found themselves a talent that has ability well beyond subbies!

The week off couldn't come at a better time for both clubs as every grade was physical
