Long lunch and Old Colleagues day wrap
2023 Colleagues long lunch did not disappoint with a full house down at Cockle bay. Thank you to everyone who came down and we hope you enjoyed the day as much as it looked like you did. The jersey calcutta was once again a big hit and we’ll keep you in the loop with who’s on top in the next few weeks. See you at the 2024 long lunch! |

Mid season pulse check and the first blue rinse of the year over Hunters Hill.
As we reach the halfway point in the season we have some players scratching their heads thinking wow that was fast and others hoping to body will hold up for the remainder of the year. The last four rounds have seen some incredable performances from the boys across the grades. This is no more evident than in the Club Championship standings with Colleagues sitting in top spot for the division one in 2023 and second place in the Cowboy Cup. Round 9 sees the Maginficent Men defending Blue Giant stadium against Forest. Kentwell Currently sit in third place on the ladder below Hunters Hill and Blue Mountains. Since last time we spoke the 2022 premiers have had wins against Forest, Hunters Hill and Waverley but could not keep up with a physical Drummoyne and went down for the second time this year. The team has flipped the critics the bird over the last few weeks, providing some quality team tries for all supporters home and away. We’ll keep you up to date with how this close knit group grow into finals. Burke This lot has gone from strength to strength this year with assistant coach James Robins putting it down to great team morale and post game celebration rituals. Burke have notched wins against Forest, Hunters Hill, Drummoyne and Waverley to sit pretty at the top of the ladder. Be sure to pencil in 2pm each Saturday to watch these gentlemen do what they do best in the lead up to the finals. Whiddon The wombats have managed just one win against Hunters Hill over the last four rounds with losses to Forest, Drummoyne and Waverley. They have been impacted by injuries in higher grades but like the animal they are, this team will dig deep right up to the end of the year so do not write them off. Judd The rampaging juddernauts remain at the top of the ladder with Mosman close behind. The team has dominated at scrum time but were shocked by a surprising Waverley outfit who won 7-0 last weekend. Despite water bottles being a luxury for our Judd cup team, the men are set for great things over the rest of the season. Halligans Our mighty Halligans are in red hot form at the moment winning their last four games, including a clinical display of rugby against Waverley that put a big target on their back for the rest of the year. These men are the first ones to arrive and set up then usually the last to leave and we look forward for what the remainder of the year holds. Barbour The youth of Colleagues have been impressive over the last four rounds with wins against Hunters Hill, Drummoyne and Waverley (forfeit) but could not hold off a strong Forest group. This weekend will be a big test after a long weekend turned into a long two weeks with Waverley unable to field a team last weekend. Radford With great sadness we note the end of the Radford cup competition for 2023 with Colleagues sitting tied second after two wins against Drummoyne, two losses to Wakehurst and a draw with St Pats. We thank everyone for their efforts this year and wish you all the best in Europe over the uni holidays. |
