Match Preview
We’ve got a point to prove against Balmain, after they knocked us out of last year’s finals. North Shore had won both games against the Dockers during the regular season, but the Dockers won the sudden-death semi final to end our season.
This is our only clash against Balmain this season. The Balmain side we’re playing is changed considerably from the team in last year’s finals; and so far this season they’ve only won two games. But there’s no room for complacency, and the desire to right the wrong from last season will be strong. We’ll be looking for a strong performance from the Bombers to maintain their powerful position in the top two.
Ladies Day
Coming up in a few weeks, on Saturday 29th June, is Ladies Day. It’s always a big event at North Shore; and this year we’ll have some more goodies and fun.
Further details to come. Save the date.
