1st Grade Vs The Entrance

FINAL SCORE LAST HOME GAME & LAST MATCH REPORT FOR 2011
SHARKS 71 RAMS 7
Management apologises for the delay in producing this report however the post game controversey with players player points with Conan taking the unthinkable step of calling for a Royal Commission and the immediate confiscation of all ballot boxes caused much confusion and delay during the past week. After obtaining a QC opinion via the club’s instructing solicitors Tort Tort & Meretort we are now able to report that Conan only got one vote in the player’s player award and that the player’s player for the game was not him. In fact although it was close the winner Hippy actually got 273 votes just shading a very disappointed Conan who got 1 !
Man of the match was Speedy with 39 points from 5 tries and 7 conversions. Dinner suit who holds the senior club record of 7 tries in a game was a happy man when Speedy had to come off early with cramp. The fact that Dinner suit was seen sticking pins in a doll that looked similar to a dressed up Speedy is only conjecture. Dylan scored 2 tries and a conversion whilst Fuz,Young Sherry ,Murph and Jimmy all got across the line for a try.( 11 tries in all )
The Rams tired hard and were rewarded with a try under Barries’ hill which saw the try scorer rewarded with a very large bourbon (sponsored by Greg Barr). The post game confusion meant that management also misplaced the best and fairest results except for Speedy who got the 3 points . The rest is a blur caused by the struggle with Conan over the ballot boxes . Shane Lloyd in his first run on in 1st grade had a strong game and young Jack Booker got a taste when he replaced young Sherry ( taken off because of over heating)
In all not that much of hard hitout going into the semis but at least players like Jimmy got to run out the cobwebs and Jenko kept his blood pressure under control.
Next game is the major semi vs Gosford.Congratulations to all on the minor premierships in 1sts and 2nds plus the 3rds making the minor semi.We should all should be proud of winning the club championship in 2011

1st Grade Vs Warnervale 6/8/2011

FINAL SCORE
SHARKS 43 WILDCATS 12
With many of the team suffering the after effects of a mystery virus and Warnervale up for the big game it took sometime for the boys to get on top. An early penalty goal from Speedy was the only points for a large part of the first half despite our field dominance. At lemons it was 15-0 and Warnervale were still in the game
A half time rev up by coaches Jenko & Jason Donovan saw us come out with a better outlook and despite Hippy , Murph and some others still stricken by that mystery virus the old hands of Fuz , Lennie, Conan and Oatie started hammering the Warnervale line. Chad made a welcome return to form after his Greek Holiday.
Julian Biber back from his Queensland rock tour and the Fuz also impressed the coaches with some good defensive work and their darting runs.
The Sherry brothers caused havoc everywhere they went and both got over for tries whilst a brief recovery from his virus saw Murph’s vision clear allowing him to take an intercept and race away for a 50 meter try.
Speedy continues to add to his points tally and Oatie stood out and also scored a try
Once again Conan was very unlucky not to get the players’ player award missing out only by 14 votes. That went to the younger Sherry. We noet that this report is a Josh Davies free zone.
In all a good effort against a side that tried hard all day and with that mystery virus affecting so many we did well…….

1st Grade Vs Northlakes 30-7-2011

Final Score Avoca Beach 76 Northlakes 7

We were expecting a very hard tussle but when our 2^nd grade led the competiton front runners easily by half time and then in the warm up we could not see many Indians coming over the horizon the management were wary of the out come. When Sherry crashed over under the posts after 1 minute the writing was on the wall for the visitors and by half time it had blown out to 50 something to their nil. Sherry added another and he was was keen to become the first prop in 1sts to score a teble. That meant he ran a fair bit but others kept taking the ball off him

Once a gain Conan , Stretch and Oatie were the back bone of a very solid tight 5 with Hippie running off their solid base.Debutants Brigga & Mitchy Mitch did well in their first run on and showed that our juniors will continue to supply quality players to the senior grades

Speedy fresh from a quick trip to NZ to hone his kicking skills scored 26 points inclduing 2 tries and 8 conversions. In all we scored 12 tries with doubles going to Sherry , Speedy, Chad and then one each to Hippy , Conan,Dave Maryska,Tommy , Dan & Beatle.

Good to see Dave Maryska come out of retirement to bolster our back line stocks. So keen was he that he also played 2nds and came on as a replacement and bagged a try ! Thanks also to Strug (the younger) who started in the backs because Josh Davies was still at the hair dressers untill well into the 2^nd half. Players player was Sherry . Conan did figure but after another pre game wardrobe malfunction the writing was on the wall for the big fella

Next week it is Warnervale away in what will be a hard game. They are no longer the easy beats of the compeption and we will need our game day heads on.

Cheers
