Another weekend of Rugby in glorious weather and Round 4 of the Premiers played with Round 1 for the Premier 2's.
It is fair to say that our Premiers were pretty much cleaned out, but to my mind, I saw so much potential from our Boys. Remember that at the sharp end last year, we were 6th on the charts - and look where that ended! We have a long season with no doubt many twists and turns. I am backing our Boys to be in the final 8 at the end of the 13 rounds.
Our Premier 2's started off where they left off last year with a resounding smashing of HOBM (incidently, the Team that was in the Final with us last year) that must surely send shivers down the spines of the teams yet to play us.
This weekend the Colts start their competition along with Reserve Grade and Presidents.
Another plug for Referees. Do you know of anyone that has aspirations to be the "man in the middle"? Without these Guys with the whistle, we have no games - and that is not worth thinking about! We are still short of Referees and I know that if anyone out there is interested, I can arrange for you to chat with the Referees about how it works. I do believe they have a very good support network.
This week the Premiers have Avalon at home with the Premier 2's playing Upper Hutt Rams at home.
Also we have Supercars at Perth along with Indycars Grand Prix of Alabama on Monday morning.
Stay safe and have a good sporting weekend.
