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 !
