City headed to Medowie again this week for a clash with Nelson Bay, and recorded a coomfortable win in a scrappy game played in blustery conditions. Drew, Woody, Tom and Stewy worked hard around the ground and Courtney and Kempy posted six goals a piece.
First Division and the Under 18's were unable to play on the weekend with the matches venue deemed unplayable. Both teams will be hoping a reschedule is possible as the 18's need as many wins as they can get to put themselves in finals contention and 1st Division are battling it out with Lake Macquarie for ascendancy.
Next week we have a home game scheduled (venue subject to confirmation!) against Warners Bay who are bound to be on a big high after their upset over Cardiff last weekend. The senior side have accounted for the Bay twice this season, in both the wet and the dry but the Warners Bay side has regained some players and hit good form so it should be a very competitive match.
Newcastle City Blues 23.14 - 152 def. Nelson Bay Marlins 6.1 - 37
