Preliminary Finals

With one week of semi finals completed, Colleagues have secured Grand Final spots for their Burke and Judd Cup sides. All Colleagues sides played in semi final matches last Saturday at the David Phillips Field in Daceyville.

Unfortunately our Colties fell short in their knock out match against Petersham 14 – 10 and our Sutherland, Whiddon and Kentwell Cup sides went down to Mosman in their respective major semi finals. Thankfully those grades sides get a second bite at the cherry this weekend in the preliminary semi finals.

Knock out rugby faces three Colleagues sides this weekend. Kentwell will take on Balmain, Whiddon will play Petersham and our Sutherland side will go up against the familiar faces of the Sydney Convicts.

3:15pm – Kentwell – Colleagues v Balmain
11:05am – Whiddon – Colleagues v Petersham
9:00am – Halligan – Colleagues 5ths v Convicts
Venue: David Phillips Field UNSW, Gwea Ave, Daceyville.

The Colleagues Black Tie Ball will be held at Dolton House Pyrmont on Saturday 3rd September, the week after the Grand Final.
Similar to last year, the ball will be a sit down 3 course dinner (tables of 10), with premium beers like Peroni and Stella Artois served.
With this year’s ball being held a litte later in the season we will be including the end of season award presentations in the evenings formalities.

It is with terrible sadness that we are passing on the news that Balmain’s Kentwell Cup player Holoua Tonga passed away on Wednesday morning after a motocycle accident on the way to work.

Holoau is seen here being clapped off the field following Balmain’s Kentwell Cup win over Drummoyne last Saturday.

On behalf of the Colleagues Rugby community we pass on our deepest condolences to Holoua’s family, friends and club mates at Balmain.

Giants!

Here we are for the second week of finals, for the guys that are playing this weekend this is your opportunity to dig deep for a place in the Grand Final. Grand Final matches do not come around often and I would love nothing more than to see Colleagues teams dominate next weeks game program. For those playing its potentially the last game for 2016… really start to think about the importance of this game and farking start to switch on now.. i can’t wait to get out there!

Congratulations to the sides that have made it through to the GF, opportunity to rest up this week and please head back down to David Phillips and cheer the rest of the boys that are playing.

Also a shout out to the Colties for an awesome effort last week for pulling up just short of a larger Petersham side. It was great to watch the fight in these young colleagues and we were nearly there. That blindside winger coming across to score the try was awesome to watch! The rest of the club should take note!!

Cheers,

The Manatee
