Wednesday night's postponed fixture against Schofields unfortunately turned out to be a bit of a farce. One of the light towers failed during the U20s game, forcing the game to be abandoned with Schofields leading 1-0 during the first half. An electrician was called to perform maintenance and the tower was fixed and the referees decided that the first grade game could go ahead as scheduled.

Sadly with Balmain leading 1-0 and the opposition down to 10 men after a brutal off the ball incident, half the lights on every tower went out during the half time interval. Football NSW has decided that both games must be replayed in full at a date to be announced.

So we look forward to Saturday night's home clash against Mounties FC, hoping that the Lambert Park lights stay on! Both grades will be looking to continue their good recent form and kick-start a run into finals contention.

Balmain enjoyed its proudest day of the season on Saturday night. Away to top of the table Dulwich Hill, First Grade triumphed 2-1 with a late winner to Lorenzo Merlino. Dane Maberly scored the other goal early in the first half. Earlier, the Under 20s secured victory with a 1-0 win via a Dave Hardwick strike, and now sit just one place out of the finals.

The full Football NSW match report is now online, and once again John Sowden has come up with the photographic goods from the sideline.

Schofields have postponed Tuesday night's game until Wednesday July 1, same kick off times.

Remember Wednesday night we have our mid season dinner at the Monkey Bar from 7pm. All players are expected to attend.

A double blow on the weekend came out at Blacktown, with Under 20s losing 2-1 and First Grade falling 2-0.

Though First Grade lost to Sydney Wanderers 2-1 on Saturday night Under 20s continued their excellent form with a 3-0 victory, highlighted by a hat-trick to Dane 'D-Train' Maberly.
