For all those who have been contacting us about 6-a-side entries...

This year's six-a-side competition will start in October. We do not have a finalised venue or time details yet. In the meantime you can organise your squad of 10 players.

Please give us a couple of weeks to get things organised - all updates will be posted here at the website. Thanks

Balmain completed the season on Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Hurstville. The result secured 9th place for the Tigers in their first year in NSW State League Division One. The Under 20s finished their season with a 2-1 victory, ensuring the side finished sixth - agonisingly one place out of the playoffs.

Schofields once again proved too strong for Balmain on Saturday at Lambert Park. First Grade went down 2-0 with two goals falling just before half-time, while Under 20s' small squad struggled to a 6-0 loss. Last match of the season is next Saturday against Hurstville who will be looking for a win to ensure they avoid the wooden spoon.

Three fixtures each for First Grade and Under 20s over the past week against Hills Brumbies, Schofields and UNSW brought mixed results. Firsts secured their Division 1 survival with a 2-0 win over Hills, but a 4-0 loss to Schofields and then a 1-0 defeat to rivals UNSW brought the Tigers back to earth.

The Under 20s are still in with a chance of a finals berth, but it looks a long shot. They still edged Hills and UNSW 1-0, yet sandwiched between those games was a 2-1 defeat at Schofields that gave them a mountain to climb in the race for finals football. They sit five points off fifth place, and need to win their final two matches and hope Inter lose twice if they want to sneak into the playoffs.
