Match Preview
Last week’s action-packed thriller against UNSW-ES saw the Bombers climb to top of the ladder. The stakes are high in this clash – winner finishes the home & away season top of the ladder and has the first week of the finals off. The loser will have to play the qualifying final.
It’s the first time we’ve played Manly in Premier Division, and with top spot up for grabs, it’s sure to be a classic contest. We’re coming into this game in good form, having won the last six matches; and the Bombers will be keen to maintain this form as we move towards the finals.
After the Game
After the Premier Division game tomorrow, Manly have invited all North Shore players, officials and supporters to join them in their clubhouse for post-match drinks. A good way to celebrate what will have been a top day of footy.
Online Coverage
We’d love to have as many North Shore people at Weldon as possible. But if you can’t get there, you can still watch the match live. AFL Sydney will be streaming the match live at
