Hey Guys,

Match Report:
Right back into the winners circle, we traveled to Epping for what was to be a somewhat comical game in the first half. With 14 players and no jerseys, the play was a little unflattering to say the least. With a rare try to the unstoppable jumbo we began to get on track only to give up the softest of tries to let the Epping boys back in. With great work from Dale at the breakdown (whether he realised it or not) it was a standout show of commitment and effort that kept us on top.

With Fuzz making it finally to the game at half time we were jerseyed up and ready to go!

With a call to arms from Stevie to tighten up and put these guys away, the typical Convicts response wasn’t far away. With classic tries to ‘a try a game’ Josh, Jay and James it was merely a case of showing a bit of class to finish it off. Dave Collins (2) excelled on the wing and Mala (3) controlled well as usual rounding off the points with Dale ‘killer’ Gurney (1).

In truth, not the most impressive of games for the Convicts but in many ways a necessary adjustment back from the high pressure environment of Bingham. With a big game against Mosman this week we’re set to mark up again and show the other contenders why we’re still top of this table

Game this weekend:
Convicts Vs Mosman
Kick-off Midday (Players there for 11AM)
Rawson Park (Mosman Main Ground - NOT Balmoral Oval) Cross Street, down Bradleys Head Road (as if you were heading to Taronga Zoo).
We will be listing players who are playing this weekend so make sure you let us know if you can’t play.
Last week we only had 15 players - from half time - we have over 60 players in the club. We were hoping to field 2 teams post Bingham but this currently can’t happen unless we get a much better turn out to Thursday training and Saturday games - particularly from our victorious Bingham seconds team.

Melbourne Tour:
So we’ve only just returned from a trip to the US - but we already have another tour in the planning. You should have all seen the email from Chris Mowbray, please respond and hopefully in the affirmative. It will be a great weekend defending the Purchas Cup (last played for against the Brisbane Hustlers) against our great friends the Chargers.

Training:
Guys training is critical to keep your skills and fitness up. Tuesday fitness with Jono and Sam was great tonight and will be on next Tue 6:30PM so get one down. Thursday’s was “the most fun ever” according to Jumbo so get on down.

Cheers,

Charlie
