Our Opponents
Pennant Hills have been one of North Shore’s traditional rivals over the years, one of the reasons we were picked to be the Demons’ opponents for the opening of their new ground. We’ve had some great clashes with the Demons over the years; but have cause for wanting to wreak revenge on them after they eliminated the Bombers from last year’s finals.
So far this year, the Demons have lost to Balmain but then had wins over Campbelltown and Illawarra. With a spot in the top 5 up for grabs for the winner, there’s plenty to play for in this clash.
Online Coverage
Score updates from all games will be uploaded through the day. After the game, more detailed results will be available by clicking on the Fixtures/Results tab above. Photo galleries will also be uploaded later in the weekend.
