We’ve come to the business end of the season, and all three of our teams are in action. The Under 18s will be playing in the qualifying final on Saturday, while the Reserves and Seniors are in sudden-death elimination finals on Sunday.
A large and vocal support base in black and red will go a long way to getting our teams through this weekend’s games; so we hope to see as many of you as possible on both days.

Our Opponents
Our Under 18s will be looking to defend their title from last year, and are in action on Saturday at 10am. The game will be held at Blacktown Olympic Park, with our young Bombers taking on Sydney Uni. The meeting between the two sides during the home & away season was a cliff-hanger at Sydney Uni No 1, with Angus Rodgers kicking the winning goal with just seconds to go. Another classic contest is expected this time. Should the Bombers win this match, they will be playing off next week for a spot in the grand final.
Our First Division (Reserves) side will be in action at Blacktown Olympic Park on Sunday at 12 noon, and will be taking on Macquarie Uni. Mac Uni won both games against the Bombers during the home & away season by a kick; but our reserves are in good form and will be looking to turn the tables to keep the season alive.
Following the reserves, our Premier Division team is also in sudden-death action against Pennant Hills. The Bombers split their meetings with the Demons during the home & away season, going down at Henson Park but then taking out a well-earned victory in a shootout at Gore Hill just two weeks ago. That match starts at 2:10pm at Blacktown Olympic Park.
