Round 3 vs St Pats

Colleagues Head to Hudson Oval

Round three of the competition sees Colleagues head out to Strathfield to take on St Pats Old Boys.

Colleagues should be coming into tomorrow’s clash as favourites across the grades after clean sweeps against Knox at home in round 1 and the rare Blue Rinse at Drummoyne Oval last weekend. Saying that, getting a win against St Pats at Hudson Oval has always been an arduous task for the Blue Giants, no matter what team your in.

Colleagues and St Pats have played the same opposition in the opening two rounds this season. Both clubs had successful outings against the usually dominate Drummoyne, but where Colleagues were successful over KOBs, St Pats had a hard time of it, only getting up in 4th grade.

Grand Final Re-Match for Judd

After Saturday’s easy Whiddon Cup grand final rematch win, it’s the Judd Cup boys taking on their grand final foes tomorrow.

In similar fashion to Whiddon’s championship loss to Drummoyne last year, Judd went down 17-15 to St Pats in the dying stages of the match.

The Campbell-Avenell and Sproats coached 4th grade side will have a few names that were on the field at TG Milner last September, notably the clubs 2016 leading try scorers No.8 Sam Orders and 2016 leading point scorer SP McGoldrick. These veterans will no doubt be leading from the front again in their quest for redemption.

Blue Rinse at Drummoyne Oval

Kentwell Cup match vs Knox in 2015

It was a rare Saturday afternoon of rugby in Sydney’s inner west last weekend. The Blue Giants of Colleagues dismantled the usually formidable Drummoyne rugby club in all grades.

Some are saying its the first Blue Rinse at Drummoyne Oval since 2011, when then Kentwell hooker Billy Johnson snuck around the shortest of blindsides about five meters out to score in the last play of the game and club storwade Dan Kelly kick the conversion for the win.

Either way it was a great day for the Woollahra lads in Five Dock, with some champagne rugby being played across the park.
