It’s another big weekend of footy. All four of our teams are in action, we’re spread far and wide; with two grades at home and two away.
This Week’s Matches
10:00am – Division Four v Manly at Weldon Oval
2:30pm – Division One v Southern Power at Gwawley Park
12:00pm – Under 18s v St George at Gore Hill Oval
2:10pm – Premier Division v St George at Gore Hill Oval
At Gore Hill, please note there is a 10:00am game not involving North Shore – this will affect access to the home change rooms before the Under 18s game.
We have home club responsibility at Gore Hill Oval; and we are responsible for keeping the canteen going all day, including the early game. The canteen will have a range of hot and cold food, snacks and drinks – all profits to our club. If you are able to help on the canteen, please report to Alan Lees or Liz Fitzgerald.
After the game, all players, coaches, officials and supporters are invited to the clubhouse for a short after-match presentation. Hear from Jon Hayres with his thoughts on the match, and we’ll be naming our best on ground.
Gwawley Park
Gwawley Park is on Box Road at Taren Point.
To get there, go through the Harbour Tunnel and continue along the Eastern Distributor. Keep going straight ahead along Southern Cross Drive and under the airport tunnel.
Go straight ahead along The Grand Parade, through Brighton-Le-Sands. Keep going straight ahead, ignore the urge to turn right when most cars will at Bay St. Botany Bay will be on your left. Keep going through Ramsgate; the road swings round to the right at Dolls Point.
Go to the end of the street, and turn left at Rocky Point Road. You will then cross Georges River, once you’ve gone over the bridge get into the right lane. The park will soon be visible on the right. Turn right at the lights just past the ground onto Box Road, there’s plenty of parking on the side street.
To get there by public transport, get the train to the city and change at Town Hall to platform 4 for the southern line. Get off at Kogarah, and catch the Sydney Buses route 477 bus, which will take you across the bridge and across the road from the oval.
Weldon Oval
Weldon Oval is on Stirgess Ave at Curl Curl.
To get there, follow Millitary Rd and left over Spit Bridge. Keep going straight ahead past the Manly turnoff, follow Burnt Bridge Creek Deviation and straight ahead along Pittwater Road. When you pass Brookvale Oval, get in the right lane.
Turn right at Harbord Road. When you pass parkland on your left, take the next left turn on to Brighton St then the next left onto Bennett St. Turn left at the bowling club onto Stirgess Ave, the road swings round to the right; and Weldon Oval will then come up on the left. There’s plenty of on-street parking.
To get there by public transport, the Sydney Buses 136 route from Chatswood to Manly and the 139 bus from Warringah Mall to Manly go to nearby Adams St. Get off the bus at the corner of Adams and Park St, walk a block north to Stirgess Ave.

Our Opponents
St George have started the season well, and are undefeated after three rounds. But our senior team come into this game in good form after last week’s big win over Campbelltown, and are ready for the challenge of being the first team to slay the Dragons in 2012. It’s our home game, and with a vocal home crowd behind us, this is North Shore’s time.
Online Coverage
Score updates from all games will be posted on the North Shore website during the day. After the games are concluded, detailed scorecards and photo galleries will come online.
