Bruce Purser Reserve
Bruce Purser Reserve is at the corner of Withers and Commercial Roads at Rouse Hill.
To get there, travel north-west along the M2, and exit at Abbott Road, where the M7 starts. Turn right into Old Windsor Rd.
Go straight ahead past NorWest Business Park and past the Windsor Rd turnoff. About a kilometre past Windsor Rd, the Rouse Hill Town Centre shops will be visible on the right. Get in the right lane and go straight ahead past White Hart Drive and Rouse Hill Drive. Take the next right onto Commercial Road, turning at the Mean Fiddler.
Go straight ahead for about a kilometre, going through parkland. Bruce Purser is at the next corner on the right. Turn right into Withers Rd and enter the car park on the right. There is a car park on site, and the school next door will be open for overflow parking.
To get there by public transport, get the bus to Lane Cove bus interchange. Change for the 610 bus, and get off at Rouse Hill High School, next door to the oval. If you’re going from the city, the 610X bus will get you there via the Gore Hill Freeway and the Lane Cove Tunnel. Note that the bus only runs every hour on weekends, refer to the Hillsbus website or www.131500.com.au for timetable details.
Gipps Road Oval

To get there, travel west and get onto the M4. Take the Cumberland Highway exit, head south then turn right into Old Prospect Road.
Keep going straight ahead to Pemulwuy Marketplace, then left into Greystanes Road. This becomes Gipps Road, and after crossing the T-Way bus road the sporting complex will become visible on the right. There is plenty of parking on site.
To get there by public transport, catch the train to Parramatta then the Sydney Buses T80 bus will take you there.
Village Green
Village Green is at the campus of the University of New South Wales, on Anzac Parade at Kensington.
Get onto the Warringah Expressway, take the Harbour Tunnel and Eastern Distributor and take the Randwick exit. Go straight ahead on Anzac Parade past the Alison Rd turnoff, through Kensington Shops, and the university campus will soon come up on the left.
Some parking is available on nearby streets, but watch the signs carefully. Some spots are unlimited on weekends, but some have 1 hour limits. For those prepared to pay, parking is also available in the campus.
Several bus routes from the city take you down Anzac Parade – frequent buses are available from Eddy Ave at Central Station or on Elizabeth St.
The Weather Forecast
Rain developing. Min 15 Max 20.
Cloudy. Rain developing in the afternoon. Winds north to northwesterly and light increasing to 15 to 25 km/h in the morning then becoming west to northwesterly and light in the late evening.
Match Preview
This week’s opponent is Sydney Hills Eagles. The Eagles won a three-peat of flags a few years ago, but this year’s been a struggle for them and they’ve lost every game so far this year.
Meanwhile, the Bombers returned to the winning list last week but won ugly against Sydney Uni and leaked way too many goals in the last quarter. It’s something we’ll be keen to not see repeated this time; looking for a solid four-quarter effort to return to our best form.
