It’s the last round before the finals, and for our three teams it’s the last chance to get themselves ready for the playoff action.
Sydney AFL’s division structure sees our teams spread far and wide, each up against a different opponent on Saturday.
The Matches
11:00am – Under 18s v St Ignatius Riverview at Blacktown Olympic Park
2:10pm – First Division v UTS at Trumper Park
6:00pm – Premier Division v Campbelltown at Blacktown Olympic Park
Blacktown Olympic Park is at Eastern Rd Rooty Hill – it’s a venue we’ve become familiar with this season. For the Premier Division match, a $5 admission charge will apply for spectators.
Trumper Park is on Glenmore Rd Paddington. To get there, take the Harbour Tunnel, then exit after the Domain Tunnel on the Bourke St exit. Continue along Palmer St, then turn left at William St. After the Kings Cross Tunnel, turn right at Neild St. Take the next left at Lawson St. Continue to the end of the street and turn left at Glenmore Rd. The oval will be visible at the next corner. Parking spaces are hard to find, the signs are notoriously hard to read and parking rangers are vicious in that area, so read carefully before parking.

Our Opponents
Our seniors will be taking on Campbelltown. The Blues will not be playing in this year’s finals, and were belted by Sydney Uni last week – but they will be desperate to finish their season on a positive note; so there is no scope for the Bombers to let up on the pressure.
The reserves have a tough assignment against UTS. The Bats won the comp last year, and are top of the ladder this season. Coached by former North Shore Michael Hosking, they will give our reserves a solid workout.
The Under 18s had a shock loss at Riverview earlier this season, so here is a chance to put the record straight. The Saints will not be competing in this year’s finals, but the Bombers will need to be on their game to maintain their ladder position in a tightly-contested battle for top spot.
Online and TV Coverage
Score updates will be posted from all three matches to the North Shore website. Detailed results and a photo gallery will also be added.
Highlights of the Premier Division match will be shown on Fox Sports Plus (channel 518) next Friday from 6:30pm.
