Finals Week 1 and Halligan GF under lights

This week sees Burke, Barbour, Judd and Sutherland at David Phillips Field for week 1 of the finals, while Halligan take on King’s Old Boys in the Halligan Cup final – 6pm at Woollahra Oval No.1 (Easts).

We’d love to see a huge crowd get down to Easts to support our Halligans boys as they look to secure the club’s second piece of silverware for the year and complete historic three-peat premiership wins.

We will be opening up the Colleagues clubhouse for Happy Hour from 3:30-6pm for pre-match beers and to watch the Shute Shield final before we head over to Easts – get down and support the lads!

With Barbour, Judd and Sutherland all up against Mosman in 1v2 clashes at David Phillips Field it’s set to be a huge day of footy, while Burke are looking for revenge against Waverley after a loss three weeks ago.

Game times are outlined below.

It was a physical day at the foot of the mountains to round out the season and it’s fair to say the boys enjoyed a few well-earned beers on the bus trip home.

Colleagues claimed hard-fought victories in Burke, Barbour, Judd and Sutherland.

Whiddon Cup fell agonisingly short via a last-minute Blue Mountains penalty goal, despite half the team being filled by colties who stepped up to the plate in the absence of a number of regulars.

Kenwtwell came up against a strong Blue Mountains side who will no doubt be a force in the upcoming finals series.

As mentioned, Halligan are off to the final after a dominant semi final victory over Lindfield. The boys have looked sharp in training this week and are primed for a big performance under lights this Saturday!
