We’re into Round 16, the third last round of the regular season; and all three grades will be in action against Wests at Blacktown Olympic Park as the buildup to the finals is on in earnest.
The Matches
All games will be played on Sunday this weekend.
10:00am – Under 18s Premier Cup v Wests at Blacktown
12:00pm – First Division v Wests at Blacktown
2:10pm – Premier Division v Wests at Blacktown
The Venue
We’ve played at Blacktown Olympic Park before this season; and the ground has proved itself to be the best surface in Sydney footy.
Although the games are played at Blacktown, they are officially designated as North Shore home games. As such, our club receives the proceeds from the canteen; and an assortment of hot and cold foods and drinks will be on sale. Of course any assistance on the day is appreciated, so if you can help out for a while at the canteen or the barbeque please report to Alan Lees or Liz Fitzgerald on game day.

Our Opponents
After our Premier Division team went down last weekend, this is a do or die clash against the second placed Wests; with a win being required to keep our chances for a top-3 finish alive. It won’t be easy against a well-drilled Magpie lineup. But our team matches up well against the Magpies. When we played them at Henson Park earlier in the season it was a thrilling finish with the Bombers falling short by just 4 points – so it’s time to reverse the fortunes this week.
Wests’ reserves and under 18s cannot make the finals, but will be looking to finish their seasons strongly. But with our reserves and under 18s looking to get themselves set and in form for their upcoming finals campaigns, these are important games.
