Colleagues was as expected up against strong outfits it in the higher grades against Drummoyne last Saturday and came away triumphant in Barbour, Judd and Suthos.
Babour have continued their dominant form throughout the season, adding another win to their unblemished record. Putting sworn enemies Drummoyne to the sword 60-nil. What was especially heartening from the boys is that due to some injuries to key players in grade a lot of the colts where called up to play for Grade.
19 Colts played in grade against Drummoyne from 1st to 5th grade! With a large chunk of colties also making the pilgrimage drink in the rich history of Europe this effort across the whole club is unreal.
The Burke boys made a gutsy effort however, Drummoyne were too classy for winning 31-14. The game showed great signs for the future as the boys are ready for the physical confrontation later on in the season. As the year progresses and players recover from injuries and start to focus finals footy the outlook good for the Burke boys.
The key here (and for all grades) is getting blokes healthy and on the paddock and we will soon emerge at the top of the ladder.
Highlights throughout the Burke game included Hamish Sheehan with his first crack in grade had a fantastic game and look incredibly dangerous with ball in hand. Other notable performances came from Liam Nichols impact off the bench a massive competitor that made his presence felt a soon as he stepped on the ground. Jack “Thunder” Hale also put his hand up for the tough carries in attack and also was effective in defence.
It was a tough weekend from Suthos through to Kentwell, hopefully round 8 marks a turning point in the season!
