Balmain's first team put a couple of weeks of wet weather frustrations behind them to rack up an impressive 11-0 victory on Saturday, which was only a couple better than the reserve team's return to form with a 9-0 thumping. With 2nd placed Roosters FC going down 4-1 to Gladesville, the firsts are positioned nicely with a 4 point lead on the league table.
This week Jackson is joined on the couch at the Monkey Bar by stalwart defenders Jeremy Pettenon and Dave Hawes to discuss the double demolition of Luddenham, and why exactly they had very little to do all day.
PS Stay tuned until the end for some highlights of this week's action.
Birchy is closed once again. Please meet at King George Park at 7pm for a bay run.
Balmain firsts held out Gladesville 2-1 on Sunday despite finishing the game with just nine men, to retain the league lead at the halfway point of the season. Reserves lost 1-0 to the league leaders but remain well placed for a run to the semis in the back half of the season.
As I missed the match, feel free to add any details or big performers in the comments.
Did, for example, first grade use any of these tactics in holding out at the death?
