GRADE

Being a member of grade this year it truly felt like all 4 teams were aligned with the goal of being the tightest group of players in club history. Although I cannot speak for the years I haven’t been a part of the Club, I can say that our goal was most definitely achieved. This was highlighted in the support that was given out at Bankwest Stadium for the Grand Finals this year. Members of 1st Grade and the Women’s team in the stand at the crack of dawn to support and celebrate 4th Grade was just one of many examples of the UNIty that was felt this year as a club. #ANYONEBUTUNI once again echoing through the Shute Shield competition, and once again we rose to the occasion for a thrilling 1st Grade comeback that I am sure most of us won’t soon forget.

Alongside the Minor Premiership and the Shute Shield, the team also collected annual trophies against West Harbour, , Northern Suburbs and Randwick. The team also finished the competition with the best attack and defensive record. A highly memorable victory was the Round 12, 24-11 thriller at TG Millner. 1st Grade haven’t enjoyed success there since 2011. This character win where we were behind up until the last 15 minutes was certainly one of those victories that only reaffirmed to the group the ability to win the Shute Shield.
