Colleagues claimed another Blue Rinse for 2019, admittedly with some assistance from Balmain who registered forfeits in Whiddon, Judd, Sutherland and Barbour.
Nonetheless it was a great day down at Blue Giants Stadium with a vocal crowd in attendance to witness two commanding performances from Burke and Kentwell.
Burkies ran out 107-6 victors, with a number of boys taking the opportunity to get off the nudie run for the year – including the Manatee, Mark Blackmore who snuck on the field to notch a try ahead of his final game for Colleagues this weekend.
Blacky has been a Colleagues legend for a number of years and it was a fitting way for the great man to finish his BGS career. Let’s hope the boys can produce one last victory this weekend before the Manatee heads north to Newcastle.
Burke’s big win win locks up 4th spot on the ladder for them and takes the pressure off against 5th-placed Blue Mountains this weekend.
Kentwell also claimed a resounding victory, running in 8 tries to record a 46-11 win.
Young colt, Jonty White, scored a try in his Kentwell debut off the bench while Cammie Burnhill notched up his 11th meat pie of the season to move into top spot in the club’s try scoring ranks.
This week all 5 grades and colts are in action as we head off on the anual Posh Bus Tour to the Blue Mountains for our last regular season round.
There’s plenty to play for with Judd looking to secure a top 2 spot, while Burke, Barbour and Sutherland are also looking for strong performances leading into finals.
Elsewhere, Halligan will be taking on Lindfield at Lyne Park in their semi final. The boys have been the best performing team all year, qualifying 1st, and will be looking to lock up a spot in the final so they can make it back-to-back premierships. Good luck fellas!
A special shoutout also to our Sydney Convicts brothers who celebrate their 15-year anniversary this weekend withtwo home games. It’s a great achievement and hopefully it will be celebrated with a coupla wins!
