MATCH REVIEW
1st Grade VS Blue Filth Saturday 25th June 2011 at the Haven
Result : Avoca 28 Blue Filth 8
With 3rds and 2nds recording victories over the Filth and a big crowd forming the stage was set for an epic encounter typical of matches against our seaside neighbours.The 1st half saw some brutal defence from both sides and when Terrigal posted a penalty their supporters thought the day was theirs. But they failed to realise that Conan was just warming up when after a sustained burst from our forwards he crashed over under the post. Speedy converted and from there we were never headed After Jimmy ran 65 meters to post a great try and Speedy converted again it was 10-3 . However when both half backs traded blows downfield it was handbags at 10 paces and for their efforts they both got 10 minutes on the sideline.
Julian Bieber used the time to get his hair re-arranged and his makeup touched up.
Just after half time Jimmy struck again side stepping his way through 8 Trojans and ran 45 meters to score under the post. Speedy converted again and it was 17-3. When Speedy broke through soon after for a 40 meter canter the conversion was slotted and we lead 28-3. A try against the run of play saw the Filth get to 8 points but that was the last hurrah for them
Murp was given a rest for over vigorous play as was the Filth’s 7 for being the pest he was
Our scrum continued to dominate and our forwards smashed them all over the park. Hippy led from the front and Sherry & Jumbo did their jobs superbly. Stretch , Conan , Oatie , Chad & young Sherry were all outstanding on the day
Players’ player Conan set a club record when he polled 476,787 votes in the poll for player’s player. Given that the maximum votes you can get is 22 the decision has been referred to the Australian Electoral Commission. A great victory on a superb rugby day
Next its us against Gosford again at home …. This will be another benchmark for the balance of the season

| MATCH REPORT | |||||||
| TEAM: 1st grade vs Woy Woy & Vs Gosford | |||||||
| DATE: 18th June and 11th June 2011 | |||||||
| V’S at GROUND : At Heazlett and away at Gosford | |||||||
| RESULT: We beat the Woy 50-10 and Gosford 20-14 | |||||||
| The Gosford game was a top of the table clash with Gosford claiming they would take us on but were under strength. Coach Jenkins played along and did not let on that with 15 players on the injured list and Aussie Bob still to sign for 2011 we were also under the pump. From the kick off the tight 5 led by Conan and Captain Stretch got on top of the Gosford pack and when Oatie scored under the post our dominance was apparent. Mat Hipwell was everywhere and his front row of Jumbo & Sherry were never off the pace. An injury to Jay Steele saw the younger Sheridan Brad get his chance to impress. In a short time he showed that he was going to press for a permanent spot at 7. In all a tough hard performance which saw us despite some dubious decisions run out the true winners of this contest. It was a victory with some cost as Dan , Lennie and Jay all suffered injuries and came off. The game against Woy Woy was previewed as a tough one but from the kick off it showed Woy Woy were not the side they were in the first round. With Speedy at inside and Dinner suit on the wing James Latham ( the prodigal) returned at 15. Sherry & his brother Brad were worthy winners of the players player award and your Brad got the 3 points Conan showed his experience and his 50 meter sidestepping run in the first half made Coach Jenkins think that he could replace some injured backs with the rampaging second rower. Conan figured prominently in the player’s player vote but the Brothers Sheridan just shaded him. He did get a point in the best & fairest which did save management from some punishment Rumour has it that Captain Steele is joining the Australian Diplomatic Corp if his weekly practice on our referees is any indication of where he sees his future Next week it’s the Blue Filth at their home ground….Let’s give it to them and sing Cheers Boys in the their Club House !

Match Report 1st Grade Vs The Entrance
DATE: 4th June 2011
V’S at GROUND : Bateau Bay Oval
RESULT: AVOCA 62 The Entrance 0
A long trip to Bateau Bay for the surfing fraternity but at least it allowed Coach Stewart to go back to his coaching roots. He actually can look like someone from Killarney Vale when he really tries.
It was a pumped up dressing room before the game with veteran forward CONAN demonstrating that the note sent by management home to his lovely wife last week about what he needed to put into his kit bag for a game was acted upon. This will now be a stock item for all tight forwards who must this week provide management with the correct contact details for all girlfriends and wives so that this ship will no longer run aground !
A spirited contest was expected and at the kick off our boys went straight onto the attack.
Chad Martin/Sherry were in everything from the start ably supported by Oatie ( playing at 6 to give Doris a rest from her usual Saturday punishment ) and a determined Jay Steele
At lemons the call was to hold the pattern and go on with it. The players responded and kept hammering away at the Rams.
With Chad and Sherry getting 2 tries each , Conan sneaking through for a 25 meter ruck buster and Jumbo adding to his season tally it looked like the forwards would once again dominate on the score board. But after dusting off their makeup and ably led by the FUZ our backs responded and without the use of their hand bags , the precious ones responded with 4 of their own as Dinner Suit got 2 and one each went to Dan & Horto
Speedy had to leave early due to a prior media commitment and Dylan took over the kicking slotting 3 from 3 to keep everyone on the bench excited.
Next week it’s the Gosford devils in a top of the table clash that will define where we are in the pecking order for 2011
See ya there

TRIES: 10 tries ( 2 to Chad , 2 to Sherry, 2 to Dinner Suit , 1 each to Conan, Jumbo , Dave Horton, Dan Rehana
