Our Opponents
Seniors and thirds will be taking on Campbelltown. The Blues have struggled with injury, and are yet to record a win in 2011; but are not an opponent to be taken lightly. Our senior side had a great win last week, showing plenty of intensity and desire for the ball in atrocious conditions – and although the conditions will be better this week, the same drive will be needed to produce a good result this week. For our thirds team, it will be their first home game, and they will be taking on Campbelltown’s reserves.
Our reserves travel to Blacktown No 2 to take on Manly’s seniors. The Wolves have been one of the stronger teams in First Division since the divisional structure was introduced a few years ago; but our reserves had a good win against them at Pittwater last season, and will be looking to repeat the performance this time.
For our Under 18s, it’s a welcome return to action after a rain-enforced three weeks on the sidelines.
After the Game
After the games at Gore Hill, all players, officials and supporters are invited to the clubhouse for a short after-match presentation. The best-on-grounds will be acknowledged, and we will hear from the coaches with their thoughts on the games.
Online Coverage
Score updates will be posted on the North Shore website as the games happen. After the game, detailed scorecards will be available through the Fixtures/Results tab above; and photo galleries will also be uploaded later in the weekend.
