Two sides that will be particularly keen to finish on the right side of the ledger, are the Burke and Barbour Cup teams who are playing out 2015 Grand Final re-matches. As coach Pete Minucos details below, the Burke Cup team will be almost a completely different outfit than the side that went down by 2 points at TG Milner last year. And as most colts teams, the Colleagues Barbour Cup side will also be a very new team to run out, hoping to recreate the success of the 2015 GF.
This week’s Kentwell Cup side will also see some changes from that that beat the defending premiers last week. Injuries to Dan Kelly, Mitch Mansfield, replacement centre Gus McGregor and the unavailability of new centre James McMahon will see inform Burke inside centre Jason Date (pictured) get his chance to impress the coaches in the top grade against the Whales.
“Jason’s recent form has been very strong. Good hard running and solid defence has been a trade mark of his play so far.” said Kentwell coach Ben Waters. “We are excited to see him getting an opportunity in Kentwell and feel sorry for his opposite from Mosman.”
