We went into this round needing a boost after a few indifferent weeks. Up against likely CC wooden spooners, Eastern Suburbs, we were wanting 5 from 5 without a doubt. Unfortunately 2nds and 5ths could not get wins so we got up 81 to 42 in the CC battle. PGs followed up with a comfortable win v UNSW. This gave us a small push up the table to 12th but with...Read More

Manly Oval was the place to be on Sunday with over 360 runs scored in the T20 QF against...Read More
A solid weekend with all grades in with a chance against Gordon. Batting first in all grades meant some difficult times given the abundant moisture throughout the week but we acquitted ourselves well and we should chalk up some points on day 2 in what will be some close games. 1st and 2nd grade are evenly poised, 3rds will find it tough, 4s are on top and 5s a bit behind but...Read More
