Next Game - This Saturday 6 Aug 2022...

Round 11 Delayed Fixture - Away to Beecroft

Headen Park, 6 Sinclair Ave, Thornleigh NSW 2120

President's Message... 

1s, 2s, 3s and Colts 

This is a Makeup game that could put us in a great spot if we win

Then the following week: Sat 13 Aug 2022

Away to Lindfield - Two Buses - One for Supporters!

Jake writes:

Next week is simply one of the biggest we have had in recent years

Not only do we have ALL Newport teams set to take on Lindfield in what is the most packed rugby schedule, but we have a shot at bringing home the Club Championships for Div 2, which hasn't been achieved since the 90s.

It is a TOP 4 clash in EVERY GRADE.

​

Here is the proposed schedule:

​

9.45am  - 4th Grade

10.40am - Womens Round Robin vs Lindfield and UNSW

11.40am - 3rd Grade vs Lindfield

12.15pm - O35s vs Lindfield on Lower Field (Field No 2)

2pm         - 2nd Grade

3.15pm    - 1st Grade

5pm         -  Post Match attempt to have the longest boat race in history -

                     Guiness Book of World Record Attempt.

 Lindfield has their Ladies Day and they will be putting on drinks/food etc.

​

We have 2 buses booked, a player bus(69 seater) and a supporters bus (57 seater). The times in which we can leave will be discussed early next week, once we gauge numbers. Any cash needed will be decided then too.

​

This is an enormous opportunity to combine Spectators, BBs, Seniors, Womens and O35s in an event that has NEVER happened before.

​

Possibility of a Pittwater RSL drop off on the way back.

​

Exciting stuff!

Jake (our President) wrote of the day...

Thanks for all that helped out yesterday and what a splendid effort from colts and 1s.

I'd like to appreciate the effort from Blacktown yesterday who came to Newport completely under strength and put in a real effort, giving us a solid game in both grades. It wasn't that long ago that we struggled for numbers at away games and all had to play multiple games each day. Let's be grateful for how things have progressed and respect teams that are struggling yet still have a crack..

As it stands:

1st = Top of ladder

2nd = 2nd place

Colts = Top of ladder

3rd = 2nd place

4th = 2nd place

Div 2 Club Champs = 1st

Cowboy Cup = 1st

Huge effort but time to refocus and reenergise. We have a big shot at multi premierships this year..

This week we have a bye! Grade isn't training as Greg Lee is giving the boys time to refresh. Colts only training Thursday.

Wednesday, I've booked the auditorium at RSL for everyone to get together and watch the origin decider for a bit of bonding.

Well done so far this year everyone.. but the tough part starts against Beecroft at Headon Park in 2 weeks… they'll be up for it..

This was the Colts (U21) team after their 36 - 0 victory...

And in 1st Grade...

Nick Fretton broke through this lot to score under the posts...

Both games were on   Cluch   

Some "End of Field" tries can also be seen here:    Colts   and   1sts   

Previous Saturday - 2nd July 2022

Home v Old Ignatians

Only 2 games - 2nds and 1sts from 2pm...

Family Day was cancelled and weather was continuous rain

​

Jake had this to say on FB....

Good wins yesterday fellas...
Terrible weather but at least we got the choccies..

Big Thank You goes out to;

• Zac Telfer Zac Meatchem Olly Osborn Alex Soprenic Frank Kamara and Olly Webster who stepped up to back up for 2s!

• Paul Evans and Christine Evans for going to the effort of putting food and drink on for everyone yesterday

• Angus James who came down not only to help out with footy but AGAIN was touchy for 1s in the pouring rain.. THANK YOU for all your hard work mate.

• Dylan Matthes For running line in 2s

• ALL COACHES who came down to support and help however they could

• EVERYONE who set up the field and packed it up - Tenny James Jed Cram

• ALL who were down there to support. It was a miserable day!
  
  Training this week will likely be off the field and I will be surprised if open next weekend..

Currently we sit 1st on the Cowboy cup, with Blacktown to go. Lindfield were washed out against Harlequins and Colleagues against Forest. So we need to keep the foot on the throat over the next month or so..

President Jake wrote of the day...

​

Evening fellas..

Unlucky today. Tough with many out of action and UNSW showing up with a solid outfit across all grades.. nothing i dont think each grade cant handle come finals time.

We learnt some lessons;

1. Every single player in this club is super valuable. Many people doubled up today and THANKYOU to those that stuck their hand up to do so... Frank Kamara Cooper Mcmichael James Finn Zac Telfer to name a few (many many more) and a shout our to Harry Condon who played all of 2s and 1s on debut.. legend

2. Away games are what counts.. gone are the days of only being able to play home games.. we are always a force at home but solid clubs need to travel..

3. We can beat any team in any grade.. today we limped through 5 grades and only just fell short.. imagine if we train consistently and show up in numbers to rock the boat..

Iggies at Home next week fellas

Hope you all enjoy a schooner tonight

Yiew

To Tenny James for doing all the bits and pieces around the ground yesterday, making sure everything was sorted and packed up..

Steve Hewitson and Cameron Greaves for all of the work up at the newport yesterday. Much appreciated.

But most importantly, to the players who got absolutely stuck in across all grades yesterday..

EARLIER - TROPHY WINNERS AT WARRINGAH 7s...

Byron Scott - as Captain, collected the Trophy and a $1500 check after the 7s Team won all three of their games.

Congrats to all players plus Coach: James Blundell, Manager: Angus James and Trainer: Greg Lee.

And in  February the HAMILTON 7s ...

Angus James said it best...

"Try disallowed as the hooter went - rule in 7s, bell rings ball immediately dead. Two years in a row, very hard to cop.

Boys were OUTSTANDING. BEST DEFENCE in the whole tournament - 177 - 32 (for and against), 17 of which occurred in the GF. Have a look at the speed off the deck and on the ball at the tackle. Newport should just forget the result and recognise just how good these boys were - winners all round. VERY PROUD - WELL DONE BOYS"

​

And Well done to Head Coach Greg Lee - on a great start to the Season.

​

PADDY SOARS CUP...

Saturday 29th January 2022

The Cricket was Done and Won - by the Grade boys for the second year (of two).

Awesome weather was enjoyed at Hitchcock Park from 3pm - although a late change of venue from Newport Oval was caused by a Council double- booking. But it didn't matter - Hitchcock was a great place.

If you'd like to hear one of the worst renditions of the National Anthem - of all time - then click here: National Anthem.

Perhaps we should consider a solo performance next year - but not Jed.

​

Pittwater Online News  - Top billing...

Not for the first time, Alison Guesdon has turned up to photograph our event.

PS: It's Guesdon not Guesden - I've had it wrong for about 12 years.

How she manages to shoot, edit, caption and publish so many shots by Sunday morning is quite miraculous.

She has covered the front page with great shots of our teams and then under the Photos link has put up around 90 pictures.  So, for a week you can view them all on the  PON website 

For posterity they've been copied to our club's server and will eventually live on our History page.

​

Video of the Game... 

​

​

​

 View Raw Clips here 

The video man was alongside the bowlers throughout most of the game attempting to get the umpire's view.

Not even Channel Nine do that!  Only trouble is - having to keep ducking in case of a ball in the lens, which often means missing catches, or more likely dropped catches.

And a wide angle lens was needed for some of the bowlers!

An interesting rule was the "PowerPlay" in which the batter or bowler had to skull a beer.

And often, a batsman when out, was lucky to make it off the field in one piece. 

The Umpires were Eddie Wayling and John Glenn (who made up his own rules to extend the game) 

But importantly our new Head Coach (Greg Lee) was present and he got to know the players a lot more - especially after everyone retired to the NRC Clubhouse for extensive celebrations.

Finally, the Greg Lee Memorial Trophy was discovered (named after our much liked late President back in 1979).

This will be polished up for the Season with the prospect that our new Greg Lee will enjoy drinking from it.

It was also REGO DAY and if you haven't registered yet...

How we went in 2020...
1. First Game was Saturday 18th July - away at Waterloo
We played Sydney Harlequins... 

Sadly, on Aug 16 - the 2021 Season was over...

Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2021
Subject: A Message from the Chairman of the NSW Suburban Rugby Union
To:

The Board of the NSW Suburban Rugby Union (Subbies) has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the competition across all divisions for 2021, effective from today.   

The decision has been made in the light of the current COVID-19 restrictions and the lockdowns affecting the Greater Sydney area and follows advice and direction from the NSW State Government and the NSW Rugby Union. 

This announcement is made in conjunction with all winter sports in Sydney who have taken the joint decision to end their competitions.

While the preference of Subbies was always to return to play, the Union recognises that with the current uncertainty as to when restrictions may be lifted, it would not be possible, within a suitable time frame, to complete any more rounds or fairly run a conclusive finals series.

The Board also made the decision that no premierships, club championships or individual awards would be presented this year. 

This is the first time since 1945 that the Union has been unable to complete a season, but in the current climate it is neither practical, fair or feasible to do so. 

The Board recognises and shares the disappointment caused by this decision and would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for their concern and understanding, particularly Four'N Twenty Pies, Cluch TV, Fusesport and the Rugby Club Foundation; and of course we also thank all players, coaches, volunteers and supporters and all of our clubs for their efforts during this fragmented season.

We wish you all the best and look forward to a return to the Subbies rugby competition in 2022.

Regards,

John Morrison

Chairman

NSW Suburban Rugby Union
