Bills Blog Welcome to the first magazine for the 2010 season. Want to welcome Paul Wray as our new magazine editor. After 10 years Karyn has passed the pen over to Paul. Thank you Karyn for all the effort that you have put in this magazine over this period. We will again be fielding 45 sides with over 700 players this year. We will be fielding six under 6’s sides for the first time in many years and we will also have two under 19’s sides for the first time ever at St Clair. PLAYERS NEEDED for the under 7’s and under 11’s age group. If you know any players that are looking for a game let us know. CONGRATULATIONS TO DIANNE RIELLY Dianne was selected as the NSW March volunteer of the month by the NSW for all the hard work that she has put in this year already. We all know how hard you have worked looking after the canteen and the clothing at the same time. On behalf of the club thank you for putting in so much as a volunteer. THANK YOU also to a number of people who have been a great help so far this year. Dave Walsh and Doug Robertson for marking the car park and the ground Maintenance. John Humphries for the canteen updates. Noel Rielly for the weekly raffles (sometimes they seem daily) at the Blue Cattle Dog Russell Eagle who has put in so much time to help Dianne with the canteen and the ground raffles. All the helpers on the BBQ and in the canteen during the trials. And lastly Darren Mudford, I do not believe that people know how much time he spends on getting all the players registered, thanks Muddy. JERSEYS. As most would be aware by now, we have gone to a different material for our jerseys this year. This new material is stronger, lighter no numbers falling off and made in . Whenever there is a change there is always a transmission year and it is no different here. Because we carry up to 400 jerseys in stock all the time we have to use them first before we can use these new material jerseys. As a consequence every team has a mixture of both materials in their jersey kit. It could not be helped. SPONSORS. Still 10 teams without a sponsor. If anybody has any leads with a possible sponsor please let us know so as we can follow that up NEXT MEETING . Our next monthly meeting is on Wednesday 21st April at 7.30 at the RSL. All teams must be represented. TRAINING . Drinking alcohol at the training grounds is unacceptable. Please refrain from bringing alcohol to the grounds while training is in progress. TROUBLE PARENTS. Parents who want to cause trouble are not welcome here. We have already shown the door to 2 parents and the season has not started. We are here for the kids enjoyment. The coaching staff will try and do the best they can to teach the players the skills required. Do not be one of those parents that think they can do a better job but never put their hand up to do it. Always need more people to help. Sitting on the side line bagging the Club and the committee is not a good look either. If you have a problem please talk to your coach and if that fails send me an email and will try and sort the issue. In the meantime enjoy the 2010 season.

This season we will have a new section in the magazine informing everyone of the charges that come before the Penrith Junior League Judiciary. Over the last few years the judiciary has become tougher and the code of conduct especially has serious penalties for those that break the rules. We hope by showing the suspensions here it will keep everyone conscious of their responsibilities when they are representing our great club. While we cant name clubs or people we will name the age group, the charge and the suspension. So far from the trials the Judiciary has already been busy. We are glad to report St Clair have not been involved so far

UNDE 6/3’s VS St Marys Won 18-10 R Firstly a huge thanks to Sloys Harness Racing for their support and sponsorship for the upcoming season, it is greatly appreciated and the boys looked fantastic in their personalized jerseys. For a group of kids that still are learning what each others names are and only fielding two boys who have played previously, all I can say is WOW. Only 6 weeks ago some of these kids were intimidated by the tackle bags and we only hoped for the best after a big lose to St Mary's in the trails. Today we saw their best. Every boy has improved out of sight. They are listening at training, learning the game and genuinely seem to be enjoying themselves as a result. The game started with St Marys attacking for the majority of the first 10 minutes but the determination and defence of Jonathon, C.J and Rieley stopped them at every attempt. Then with the first of his two tries Kane streaked away to score and then convert his own try. Ethan and Junior also scored super tries that were from well inside our own half. We raced to an 18-0 lead on the back of good passing from Albert and Jett. Lachlan, Joel and Kiarne had some big runs and were unlucky themselves not to score. In the last three minutes St Mary's came back and scored two late tries to make the score look a little closer than it should have been, however as a coach I could not have been prouder of our boys and look forward to the rest of the year. Well done boys. P.S A big thank you to the parents who turned up to field duties "Great day to be a Comet" COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Cameron Haywood Belinda Smith Craig Jones & Graham Davis 14/2's Proudly Sponsored by: Sloys Harness Racing UNDE 6/6’s VS St Marys Lost 24-12 R First I would like to thank our sponsor BERRIMAN CONSTRUCTIONS P/L ( You name it we build it ) for coming on board for 2010, also I would like to welcome the players and parents to the team and hopefully have a fun and successful year. Today we played our first game of the year against St Marys at home ( Peppertree ). The game showed that the boys have a lot to learn and hopefully by the end of season we will have taught them the basic's of the game and should see a big improvement. All the boys, William, Brodie, Kian, Kyan, Brady, Blake, Jake, and Jarrod tried hard all game, running and tackling anything in their sight. Well done boys (A big high five for everyone ). Man of the Match went to Sabastien scoring 3 tries and also defended well, good on you buddy. To Bailey who has been sick, hope to see you back soon. To our manager Michelle thank you for putting your hand up to assist us throughout the season.

UNDE 14/2’s VS Glenmore Park Won 12-4 R I would again like to welcome everyone into our team. Firstly I would like to thank Leo from Cucinotta Racing for our jersey sponsorship for this year, to Colin of Aitken Engineering Sydney (shirts) and to Dave of Prestige Carpet Cleaning (shorts) for their generous support of the team this year. After a long trial period we finally got to play our first game. As requested, most of us turned up in uniform which was good to see. It certainly lifts the image of the team. With 15 players available, we took on a bigger opposition but this did deter the guys. We spoke prior to the game of what was required and then you all went out and did exactly that, well done boys! We showed courage and determination early as Glenmore Park applied pressure on us deep in our red zone, with good defence by Jye, Aaron, Wade, Matt and Brandon, until they scored the first try. From there we seamed to lift and this resulted in good attacking runs from Corrie, Reece and Thomas, and one in particular down the Left side by Jake then Jack. We again attacked their line down the right side but a wrong option resulted in a missed opportunity. A good kick into the Right corner was unlucky not to result in a try as well as Zac J had a great chase. Further attacking down their end resulted in a Kyle pass to Jesse who crossed over untouched, conversion by Kyle. After the half time break we continued attacking as we had in the first half, two good sets brought us deep into their red zone where a clever offload from Thomas saw Aaron cross over under the posts, the try converted by Kyle. We showed how determined we were to keep Glenmore away from our line, with Blake and Zac M standouts, we tackled for almost three straight sets, 15 tackles, stopping everything they threw at us. Everyone did their bit. Well done boys that was a tremendous effort!! Obviously this solid defence took its toll on the boys as all were very tired as we came off after the game. Tries; Jesse and Aaron, Goals; Kyle x2. Man of the match went to Thomas. Thank you to Stephen for running the line and to Andrew, Cheyne & Luke. Congratulations must go to Blake Johnson for playing his 100th game today. Dave Felice has generously offered a 10% discount to anyone who has their carpets cleaned and mentions our team 14/2’s, his generousity is extended further with an offer to pass that same 10% onto the team, so get the word out there to use Prestige Carpet Cleaning! Thanks again Dave.

Also thankyou to Rick for helping out on the BBQ for field duties for our team. So our first game for the season what can I say. All the kids tried hard though plenty of efforts and mistakes were made. Its always hard to come back after a weeks break and big win in the prior game. On the day the more experienced team won. Though guys you are certainly pulling efforts out of the bag against teams like this. We had 2 great tries from Sabian and Logan plus a good effort at goal from Logan and Ben. Some big tackles took place during the game unfortunately not enough to get us over the finish line but we will try again next week. Can’t win them all. All round good effort we are improving each week as we go along. We just need to pay a little more attention to the game and get back into our positions quicker. Nathan, Ayden, Michaela and James great running tactics and tackles keep it up. Ethan again great in Dummy Half COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Michele Michelle Darren 7/4’s Proudly Sponsored by: C & J Transmissions & 123 Photos

UNDE 7/3’s VS St Marys Dre 10 all R w First I would like to thank our sponsors Frankham Engineering & Cornwalls Leaflets for coming onboard for the 2010 season. Todays game was very defence based due to a combination of both teams being good at moving up with speed and a referee that didn’t police the rules and letting the kids move up before the first receiver got the ball, as a result the defence was on top of the runners before they had a chance. The first period finished without a try being scored and the signs were it would be a lows scoring game. The second period both teams attacked more and after some great hard runs from Man of the Match Harry to give us great field position Jack crossed for his first try and converted to give us a 6-4 lead going into the last period. The last period was very controversial with 2 decisions costing the team victory. The first came from a break Ethan made down the sideline when he was shoved in the back over the sideline. The inexperienced referee rightly blew the whistle and awarded a penalty however after talking to the St Marys player that infringed, the referee got a little confused and raised his arm in the wrong direction giving St Marys the penalty. St Marys then scored from the tap and we were heading to the last few minutes at 10 all. After some good pressure in defence the boys won possession in good position with enough time for one set. Harry went close to the line with another great run and then Nathan was also stopped a metre short the next tackle. As the ball was played the hooter sounded and we had one last play, Jack busted through to score the match winner and it looked to everyone like we had won the game however the referee ruled he had put his foot over the dead ball line before he grounded it and disallowed the try. Still a draw is better than a loss and the signs are there that this team will be vey competitive this season. Special mentions this week also for Kobe who has improved every week especially his ball security and involvement and Blade who was great in defence and bravely battled on after a couple of heavy knocks looked like he may need to be replaced early. REMINDER to all the parents to keep collecting for the Tacklathon. We would like to take the boys to State of Origin so we need the monies to be handed in on time on May 1st or we may miss out on getting the tickets in time. COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Matt Rogers Matt Duffell Wade Cornwall 7/3’Proudly Sponsored by: Frankham Engineering & Cornwalls Leaflets UNDE 13/2’ VS Windsor Won 50-0 R s A BIG Welcome everybody to season 2010. The 13/2’s and their families would firstly like to ‘Thank’ our Major Sponsor for this season, Nicky Myers & Melina Yadkarian from ‘PINNACLE LOGISTICS’, for coming on board and supporting the team. Your help and sponsorship is greatly appreciated by all the boys and their families. Round 1 for the season saw the 13/2’s take on Windsor at Windsor, and what a way to start the season. As the Coach, I was a little wary of the Windsor team. We had played them in our last trial game and beat them quite comfortably. This always worries me as I have seen this situation happen before over the years, where a team gets complacent after beating a team the previous week, they then turn up to their next confrontation and find themselves quite embarrassed. This however, was not the situation for the 13/2’s. The boys were totally focused on the job at hand, and also had extra inspiration in playing hard for their two team-mates who both lost close family members in just the last couple of months. Our thoughts go out to Snyder & his Family and also Kyale and his Family. The 13/2’s dominated from the kick-off which set the foundations for the remainder of the game. The Comets were brutal in defence and un-stoppable in attack. It was great to see the boys attend to the game plan when needed which led into some entertaining and enterprising footy. Rocko & Snyder led the team around the paddock extremely well, which allowed our forwards to run riot and the backline to sizzle throughout the game. The 13/2’s were far superior in every aspect of the game which shows in the end score line. There were no stand-out performers today as every single player, played to the potential we know they are capable of. I will mention some outstanding statistics though: Elie Estephan – 3 trys, 5 hit-ups for 155 mtrs, Ben Wright - 2 trys, 6 hit-ups for 90 mtrs and Jack Lucas – 4 hit-ups for 105 mtrs. Snyder Epati and Kyale D’Sena topped the tackle count with Dion (El-Masri) Rasmussen kicking 4 from 5 attempts. Elie Estephan won the ‘Players Player Award’ for the week, Liam Devlin was runner-up and Ben Wright won the Coach’s Award. Great effort team... imagine what we are capable of if we ever get a full team at training! Special Thanks to Julie Matapuku for scoring, Irangi Matapuku Snr for stats, Rocket Rod Fallon for running the line, Trainers, Manager, Ball-boy and the families for your support.

UNDE 6/4s VS Emu Plains Won 36 - 4 R Well done boys, it was a very impressive start to the 2010 season for the U6/4s, with a very great 36 - 4 win over Emu Plains. The boys did everything that they have been training to do over the last few weeks, with a great show of defence, running and their formation around the play the ball, and for a team of beginners they made their win look easy. For a little guy who says very little, Ben Mataafa, was a stand out in both attack and defence. Also a big thanks to Drew Tomkin for being the ref for todays game.

All teams must be represented UNDE 7/1’s VS Doonside Lost 24-28 R Thankyou David & Kelly from Royal Flush Plumbing for coming on board again as our Gold sponsor, & welcome to Michelle from Laingy’s Catering who are our silver sponsor for 2010. It was a good game to start our season off even though the win just slipped away from us. I’m sure next time we will have improved enough to control the ball for our full set as well as move up as a team, in a line, which will prevent any gaps for their fast player (who scored 3 tries) to step through. Considering we have only learnt our colour system for attacking over this last week, I think it worked a lot better then the numbers system that we have been using in the trials, and after a bit more practice things will run a lot smoother. Bailey topped the tackle count today with 7 tackles & scored a fast try. He always gets to his dummy half position quickly & gives good quality ball making him one of our most important players. Corey had a bit of a quiet game compared to his trial games in defence, but even though the opposition were up on him fast when it was his run, he never gave up, trying to take every step he could towards the try line. Ezra equalled the 2nd highest count with 5 tackles & moved up when the opposition’s halfback received the ball, which was something I asked the team to concentrate on, and his running is always through the middle which is where I would rather it be. Jack Starr trained a lot better this week, which showed in today’s game. He made 4 tackles, scored a try and kicked a goal. He has also showed that he has a very smart football brain, by filling in when our halves can’t get into position. Jack Sullivan gets better every time he plays. He scored 2 tries and kicked a goal, which is what he did all year in 2009, but best of all he is getting more confident with his tackling using his shoulder a lot more often. Jacob was unlucky not to get an award today; he made 5 tackles and ran better than I’ve ever seen him, straight through the middle. Keep it up Jacob, as weekly points for the end of year trophies don’t always go to our award winner’s mate. Jayden had a very quiet game in defence, especially compared to last weeks trial, however his running has improved out of sight considering he doesn’t get too many runs from his position. Kye always trains his hardest which really shows in his game. He made 5 tackles and scored a great individual try. He is very smart and is a great organiser on the field, one of our best today. Mason has learnt over the last couple of weeks that he makes much more ground up through the middle using his strong palm offs. Now he just has to start moving up in defence to make a few more tackles and he will be a very important part of our result. Silas may have only made a couple of tackles today, but that was only because the opposition was too scared to run near him. His runs were damaging as always usually taking half the team to get him down. One of best in all trial games too. Tayte always listens at training which will make him learn faster than most others. He tackles low and uses his shoulder, and runs fast and hard with great footwork. A few more try saving tackles mate and you may just win us a game or 2 all by yourself. Tyrell had to wait a while before his 1st run due to us offloading too much and losing the ball on the 1st and 2nd tackles, but he equalled the 2nd highest count with 5 tackles and is getting back to the damaging player he showed us last year. Keep the talk up mate.

UNDE 15/2’ VS Emu Plains Won 50-0 R s The 15/2’s greatly appreciate the support from our sponsors “The Clean Plumber” and “JKE Shade Sails”, and the support from Mick at “Matthews Quality Meat – St Clair”. The preseason lead us to believe that this year we had something special within the team and on the weekend there was a little bit of this. From the start the team listen to what Geoff had to say and we pinned them down in their own half. From the next set of tackles we had scored, so after 5 mins we were up 4 nil. This was going to be the ongoing occurrence for the day. The forwards were making easy yards up the middle and on the fringe which allowed the backs to weave some magic. Some great ball work and back line moves poured on the points and by half time it was 40 – Nil. A few handling errors still need to be worked on but it will come with training. Some great performances by Jesse (man of the Match) Riley Naihi Liam and Jalay. Try scorers were Tipene x 2, Riley x 2 and Tala x 2 and shamus, Ben, Zac, and Jesse all picking up a try and Riley kicking 5 from 9. This weeks Raffle winner of the Meat Tray from Matthews Quality Meats was Luke Mulligan. Great first up effort by all the team and well done. Thanks to all the parents who assisted on the day and again our sponsors.

UNDE 11/4’s VS St Marys Lost 54-0 R With the season official started the boys ran into a very good St Mary’s side with some really big boys in their team. The first half was all one-way traffic with our boys only getting one set of 6 for the whole 20 minutes. We really struggled to tackle the fast moving forwards from St Mary’s and the half time score was 38 – 0. Daniel, Dylan and Josh put in big efforts in defense but could not stem the flow of tries from St Mary’s. Cullen also made a couple of good tackles before coming off injured. After a big rev up at the half time break we managed to force a few mistakes and get some possession and made good meter’s through some good runs from Lachlan, Matty and Michael. Denis and Kevin did their best to slow the big boys down and Jack really tried to get down low and take out the legs of their forwards. Trent did a great job at dummy half, in one of his first games in this position, making sure he was in the right position at all times. Whilst we didn’t manage to get any points on the board we did slow their scoring down a lot compared to the first half. Our efforts we not enough however and the game was stopped about 10 mins into the 2nd half. Although the boys tried hard our defense let us down but we will work hard on it over the coming weeks to get it right. Man of the match was Josh for some great one on one tackles on some big boys, Tackling award went to Daniel with 9 tackles (Dylan a close 2nd on 8), Parents pick award went to Jack who never stopped the whole game and the most improved went to Lachlan who made some great tackles, assisted in a lot of tackles and made some good runs. A bid thanks to Daniel Kelly from the 10/3s who came up to help us as we were short of players – He was one of the best on field in the 2nd half. With some hard work on our defense this week we look forward to the game on the weekend and hopefully a better result.

UNDE 8/2’s VS St Marys Lost 18-12 R Welcome players and parents to the 2010 season. How quickly did that come around? Welcome aboard to our new sponsor Jeff Croft Plumbing.Your support is greatly appreciated. Our team this season is Zac, Lachlan, Coby, Flynn, Thomas, Brandy, Peter, Xavier, Baeley, Luke & Harley. Not a win but a pretty good start to the year. Three tries each but we couldn’t kick a goal. A very even game that was kept exciting by the closeness of the score. Especially the last 5 mins when the game could have gone either way. We took an early lead with Lachlan diving over from dummy half, but they hit back almost immediately to lead 6 - 4. Good work by both teams saw the ball go from one end to the other but they slipped over for another try to lead 12 - 4 at the break. A good second section with us being caught by their last defender several times. Thomas crashed over for a good try but still no goal. We got out paced for them to score again but never gave up. Thomas scored again to make it 18 / 12 but we just couldn,t cross again in the last few minutes. All in all a good game and also good to watch. I was pleased with it as I think everyone would be. A few things to work on at training and we will give it another go next Saturday.

UNDE 10/3’s VS St Marys Won 34-18 R Firstly we would like to say a big thank you to our sponsors N & L Murray Concreting - thanks for coming on board to support the boys for the 2010 season. We started off a bit slow in this game. At the 10 minute mark we were down 12-0 and I was beginning to think we were up for a big loss until REUBEN took the ball near their line, leg pumping his way over for our first try. ETHAN scored next after a one handed offload from JOEL, one of the two tries he scored in the game. RILEY scored just before half-time making us ahead 18-12 at the break. In the second half BRENDON came on and pulled off some strong tackles, with BILLY and BRAYDEN, our two smallest players, taking down some of their biggest players in one on one tackles. RYAN and AARON repeatedly ran hard up the middle making some large yards, with DANIEL doing some side-stepping runs, making the way for JOSH and ZAC to score a try each. ZION passed well from 1st receiver. Man of the Match was Ethan Humphries. All in all a great effort boys. See if next week that you all put into practise what you are taught at training.

UNDE 10/1’s VS Emu Plains Won 28-18 R Hello and welcome to the 2010 season. We have 2 new boys join our team Antoine (A.J) Moananu and Bradley (Blocker) Middlebrook all the best playing for the mighty Comets boys. We also have a new sponsor join us this year STIR CRAZY Noodle Bar 9670-2277 which is located in the Erskine Park Shopping centre. On behalf of everyone involved with the team I would like to thank Mike Creighton for his generous support of this great side. Now to the action. The only way to describe the game is like a yo-yo up and down, up and down. The boys started the game very well the running was straight and the defence was tight. Before we knew it, it was 12-0 the first try was created by Azza who drew the defence and put Logan away who showed us his pace to score in the corner a top try. AJ busted through the defence to score a nice try showing us his strength. 12-0 seems to be a curse for us so many times we have hit this score line and we seem to switch off but I did think after the last 2 trials we were over this. All of a sudden we were dropping the ball, pushing passes and running sideways. We gave the ball back to them about 10 times and if it wasn’t for our solid defence we could have been behind at half time instead of 12- 12. The second half was similar to the first but not as bad again we scored 12 points but this time we only let in 6. Rock and Sal scored powerful trys and Troy stepped through to score a try right on full time. Good things to come out of the game were our defence and our ability to kick ahead even when we are not playing at our best. Our forwards showed that they can dominate even though they started going a little sideways at times and the backs were linking up and with more time will develop some good combinations. Aydos and Jeri in the halves formed a good combination and were always in position, well done boys. Tackle of the Week went to Zach for a big front on tackle early in the game and kept it going. Pizza Award went to Logan who had a good all round game his defence was fantastic and he linked really well with Azza well done buddy. The STIR CRAZY Noodle Bar Players Player Award went to Zach who ran straight and hard every time and didn’t hang back in defence he was up in the line and put in a big effort. Zach you have to keep that effort up every game and I am sure you can buddy. OK boys lets turn up for Glenmore Park on Saturday cut our mistakes out and show them how good the STIR CRAZY COMETS really are! Thanks to Pisa and Jason for running the line and to Tony for a good job on the table. Until next week GO COMETS!!

UNDE 8/4s VS Glenmore Park Lost 24-16 R Firstly i would like to thank Des Long for donating the Man of the Match Trophies and The Tackler of the Week Trophy for the boys. Our first game of the year was against Glenmore Park at Peppertree. The boys got off to a flying start with a quick try to MATTHEW. When KEVIN busted through a short time later we were up 8 nil. Glenmore Park hit back with two quick tries converting one to go to the break down 10 - 8. In the second period the magnets on the sidelines kicked in and we kept running out handing possesion back to Glemore Park. We tackled well but they scored two tries converting one. We went into the final break trailing 20 - 8. The last period saw the boys rally with great defence and attack. MICHAEL charged over with 6 minutes to go to get us back in the hunt. When MATTHEW scored shortly after that their lead was down to 4 points. On our last attacking raid the siren sounded so the boys started offloading at will. Unluckily the ball hit the deck and Glenmore Park raced away to score. The final score was 24 - 16 but we were so proud of how the boys fought back and were in it right to the end. Highlights of the match were the four tries by MATTHEW x 2, KEVIN and MICHAEL. The defence by ROBERT, MATTHEW, KEVIN and DEONDRE. Great busting runs by ZANE, DJ, LIAM and MICHAEL and great dummy half and first receiver play by ROBERT & RILEE. Man of the Match went to ROBERT for his dummy half play and great tackling. Tackler of the Week went to KEVIN for never giving up in defence. On one occasion chasing someone down the length of the field to save a try. The Pizza award went to MICHAEL for his great try under the posts.

First try went too Joshua then Jai scored the second from dummy half. The defence from all the boys was great. The second ten Dylan and Tainui controlled the dummy half and first receiver with great success to allow all the boys to have runs. Jacob and Justin tackling well. The last ten Luke and Josh controlled dummy half and first receiver and also done a fine job. Jaiden and Hayden defending really well in the last ten to stop some certain tries.

Our Boy’s didn’t disappoint & I’m sure every parent was proud of these kid’s – judging by the cheers from the crowd (Even though our loudest Mum wasn’t able to be there….)

UNDE 11/1’ VS Western City Tigers Lost 12-30 R s To Deborah and David Richards from Australian Real Estate at St Clair thank you once again for your continued support for our boys; you are the best and welcome to the start of a brand new season. What a game to kick-off 2010 with a tough match up against last year’s Premiers. It was always going to be a physical game with the Tigers big forwards which gave us a lot of tackling practice by the end of the match. But let’s analyse our performance for a moment and forget the final score as it does detract from the effort our boys came up with. We now have 6 new players in the side this year and only 2 trial matches to get the boys settled in. This is a whole new team but with a lot of natural talent and the coaching staff is very proud of each and every player. In fact the new players played outstanding football and it may be the case that the boys from last year’s team may have to blend in with the new players rather than the other way around. Jarryd Tucker playing not only his first game in Div 1 but his first game in Rugby League having been converted from Soccer; was outstanding. I think his name will be mentioned many times this year. Ricky Robinson, Bailey Knoll and Branden Alauni worked tirelessly in the forwards in both attack and defence and Andre Sultana and Jason Middlebrook proved they are also worthy of being Division 1 players. Well done to our new guys and once again welcome to the team. Josh Wright scored our first try for the season with a snappy four pointer from dummy half and followed that up with a solid game in defence. Zane Long made an enormous impact coming on for the second half and was rewarded with a try to keep our score line respectable. Will Allison’s contribution to the team was enormous with his distribution to the backline and his kicking on the last tackle. Will’s combination with Josh at dummy half is not to be overlooked and they will continue to develop into a very formidable pair. Our Captain Zach Borg is another to be praised with a solid workload in defence and I think the decision to appoint him as the leader is perfect as he leads by example, congratulations Zach we will look to you for inspiration this year. Heads up, be proud, we have a lot of work to do and a long way to go.

Also thank you for the trophy and medals you have provided for the boys each week, it is much appreciated. Today we came up against Emu plains who had come up from 2nd division last year. After some outstanding performances in the trials and working really hard at training our boys were raring to go. Despite completly dominating the oppositon early the score was kept close before our finished them off for a great first up victory. Aidan was brilliant today leading the way with non stop defence and also scored a well deserved try. Joe in his first game was unstoppable with strong running and bruising defence. Jacko showed how big and strong he his making lots of breaks up the middle. Rabbitt and speedy were too fast for the opposition making breaks whenever they wanted. Nugget and Diddy were brilliant at dummy half giving great service allowing us to get on top. Tyler and Jayden worked hard all day making important takles and were hard stop with the footy. Rylan monstered teh opposition both in attack and defence. Great win boys and if you keep up the hard work at training im sure there are more wins around the corner.

All boys played exceptional today, good runs were made by Jack, Jake, Haydon, Steven, Dylan, Braydon, Loch, Clay, Ben. Each boy tackled their hearts our and its hard to tell who tackled more, they were all fantastic. The second half proved to be a bit of a work out but the boys defended well. We made mistakes but we came back and attacked. Brendan, Jonah, Mitch and Reece all had a fantastic game. Tries were scored by Brendan, (2), Jack (1), Ben (2), Dylan, (1), Jake (1), Clay (2) and goals were kicked by Mitch, Brendan, Loch, Jack, Dylan and Steven.

UNDE 11/2’s VS West Tigers Won 50-0 R The St Clair Comets under 11/2s are proudly sponsored by FOOD W ORKS St Clair . Firstly I would like to welcome all players, parents and sponsors on board to what should be another great season of action packed footy. Today was our first official match of the year which we hosted at Peppertree against the West Tigers. The first half consisted of 38 points on the scoreboard. From the word go we had control of the ball with Thomas scoring in the opening minute soon followed by a barging Ricky to bag 2 tries within 2 mins of each other with both tries being successfully converted by Kalani and Bailey. Kalani was next to cross the line finding a small gap in the tigers defence with Ryan successful with the boot. Mitch Riley took a few hits however managed to stay consistent topping the hitups tally. Benny was next to step up running the length of the field to score a marvellous try which was then successfully converted by Josh. Kalani was then bound for the line late in the first half getting a double for the day with a successful conversion from Kyle. The second half bought a few minor errors but the boys managed to stay persistent. Bayley continued to lead the team around the park in the right direction weaving through Tigers to brand his own try. Lachlan was successful with the two points. Tigers griped the ball for a few sets except for some individual courage from perhaps the smallest player in our team Kyle tackling tiger’s biggest player one on one; he was able to force the error, dash down the sideline only to be caught and do exactly the same thing again later on in the second half. Josh our 5/8 was last to score in the match making a break at half way with Mitch Eckford to convert to seal the match off at mercy rule with 10 minutes to go. Man of the match today went to Ricky. Player of the day went to Benny. Best Tackler went to Kyle and Pizza award went to Bayley. Scoreboard: Ricky x 3, Kalani x 2, Benny x 1, Thomas x 1, Bayley x 1, Josh x 1.Conversions: Kalani x 1, Bayley x 1, Ryan x 1, Josh x 1, Kyle x 1, Lachlan x 1, Mitch .E x 1.

UNDE 14/4’ VS Quakers Hill Won 40-20 R s Well the 14/4's have finally started the season. After completing some good trial games, the St Clair 14/4s and all of our supporters went to Mickleson Reserve, Quakers Hill to play our first game of the season. The weather turned out to be very hot and by the time our 11.50am kick off came around it was defiantly going to be a good but tough game. Manning up to a team which towered us for size our boys really stood up. During the first half the forwards dominated the middle of the field. With constant pressure being built in the 1st half by our defence and ball running it saw us have a hefty lead at half time, thanks to tries from Jack (x2), Montell(x1), Tairongo (x1), Jacob F (x1) which gave us a lead going into the break of 28-0. Through this half our forwards really put it on with big hits consistently coming from our forwards and lead by Big Josh in the middle, with the ball hitting our centres with slicing plays from Joey & Jacob F (Snakey). Our defence line looked sharp with Braydon ensuring the boys stayed honest in the line and our wingers working hard to offer support on bringing the ball back. Second half also started great with all of the boys doing good work with the ball and in defence, but half way through the second half fatigue really set. With the heat and the fact that we had 3 boys unable to play it left our bench with only 1 sub. We conceded easy tries but still managed 2 great tries with Davy Iotua scoring a burner down the sideline with footwork and Tairongo powering through the middle of their team to put on a try with time up on the clock. The final score ended at 40-20 with our boys taking a lot of experience from the match and plenty of smiles. I would like to give big thanks all of our sponsors, parents & supporters for all having a great influence & contribution in this team whether small or big. Special mention to Tammy our manager for all of her hard work which we truly appreciate as well as the we truly appreciate everything from each and everyone. We hope to see you all at our next game and remember that this is our St Clair 14/4's. COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Len 14/4’s Proudly Sponsored by: Colyton Centre Pharmacy Banchee Automotive

UNDE 9/1’s VS St Marys Lost R Firstly I would like to welcome the new players and parents to the team. Hopefully we will have a very enjoyable season. With a new team and a new sized field there are many things we need to learn, which was evident in today's game. All the boys gave 100% and I was very pleased with their efforts. Our defence was much better than in our trial games, but we still need to come together as a unit. There were some great individual performances in attack and defence. We ran the ball hard for the whole game but our ball control let us down, we need to learn to complete our sets. There are a lot of positives to come out of this game and with a bit more luck with some penalties it may very well have been a different result. Keep up the effort boys.

UNDE 12/3’s VS St Marys Lost 0 - 48 R Firstly a very big thank you and warm welcome to our team’s major sponsor Tom from Parramatta Timber Floors for his fantastic support for our team this season. For all your timber flooring needs Tom and his friendly team can be contacted on 0414913210 or 96706382. Come on let’s support our sponsor. Well the 2010 season finally got underway today. The boys have trained well and trialled fairly well in the pre season. This is a brand new team with 5 players that have never played footy before, one new boy, Brad from Colyton and the rest basically from our 11/4’s side last year. This week saw our boys take on St Marys who are always a tough opposition and we knew we were in for a hard match. Unfortunately our boys continued their non commitment in defence despite working hard on this in all our training sessions. We need to improve significantly in our defence if we want to be competitive in this competition this year. We also need to focus on quicker play the balls, passes and running harder and straighter onto the ball. Despite the score line there were some very encouraging efforts from some of our boys. Jason tried very hard all day with some hard running and solid defence. Jay was fearless in everything he did constantly tackling the biggest boys from St Marys. Mitchell also had a solid game topping the tackle count and providing good ball from halfback. Our 5 new boys, Jamie, Ryan, Chris, Paul and Steve had good games for their first footy game ever. It seems that our smallest players are heading the tackle count so we need a much bigger effort and commitment from our forwards in this area. C’mon boys we know you can do it. Guess what we are doing at training this week …….. yes TACKLING DRILLS. A big thank you to Lach, Paul and Matt for being our trainers this year. Weekly trophies – Man of the match - Jay, best defence – Mitchell and best attack – Jason.

UNDER 17/1’s VS Glenmore Park Lost 8-12 Welcome to the 2010 season, lets hope this is the year of the comets as the boys have been working hard in the off season.We would like to welcome our sponsors for 2010 ERECT SAFE SCAFFOLDING,TYRE TEAM at ST MARYS & K & K BARWICK TRANSPORT on board and once again thank them for helping out this year, their support is very generous. Today we travelled to Cambridge Park to take on last years Grand Finalists in Glenmore Park and as expected they proved very hard to beat. The effort was there today but I think the boys were guilty of trying too hard today as we tended to go away from what we had been working on at training and instead of building pressure we were trying to score off every set and to their credit their defence was up to the task. This week we need to work hard at training because there are no easy games in Division 1 and with Brothers this week we need to lift at least 50% to be in the game. Today's Man of the Match went to ZAC while JAKE got the player's player award. Boys don't forget the 24th of APRIL is our fund raiser at BUNNING'S and everyone is going to be required to help out on the day.

UNDER 14/1’s VS St Marys Lost 0-46 THIS WEEK MATCH REPORT: I would like to thank our major sponsors Ed’s Family Restaurant at the Blue Cattle Dog Hotel and Lite and Easy. A season with good sponsors allows us to concentrate on our performances on the park. I am confident that we have the players to be a very competitive football team, we just come up against the form team in the competition in round 1. Boys as a coach I am disappointed with our ability to transfer our training into game situations, we must be able to listen and execute at a higher percentage to win games. As I told you at half time only having the opportunity to hold the ball for 6 sets and completing 2 of those we could not build any pressure. We are only putting pressure on ourselves and exerting all energy defending and that is not very fun. I know that each of you are very skilful players but we each need to play and take responsibility for the team. Remember our Moto boys, Remember our Name. Heads up and I am sure that the results will come our way and football will be enjoyable for all. Good luck to all our Injured athletes and have a speedy recovery. 3 points – Jack Lyons, 2 points – Nick, 1 point – Mario COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Stewart Griffin Maria Carter Cameron Turner and Les Louge 14/1’s Proudly Sponsored by: Ed’s Restaurant @ Blue Cattle Dog Hotel & Lite n Easy

UNDER 9/2’s VS St Marys Won 22-0 I would like to say thankyou very much to our sponsor Brian from Briall Fabrications for his sponsorship and support to the team. Today was a fantastic start to the year you boys made it look easy because you did all the simple things right. Man of the match goes to Kaine Jones 3 points. 2 points goes to Kyle Patterson and 1 point goes to Te mana Homann. I am impressed with the commitment and improvement of the boys at training and at the games, keep up the good work. I would also like to say happy birthday to Lachlan Holmes and to all the boys don’t forget your nicknames for the jerseys. COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Steve Nicola Robert Ross Troy Nicola & Clark Kay 9/2’s Proudly Sponsored by: Briall Fabrications UNDER 14/3’s VS Emu Plains Loss 12-26 Welcome to all the players, parents and friends to the 2010 season with the under 14/3’s. To date we are still talking to prospective sponsors and hope to have some good news in this regard very soon. This week we played Emu Plains at their home ground. To say it was an interesting day is an understatement; a tragic accident on the M4 meant most of the team were extremely late to the game, thanks to the Emu Plains guys for delaying the start. A disjointed beginning and a very poor attendance at training through the week meant we were always going to struggle in round 1. We started off very slowly and before we knew it was 10-0 down. The boys rallied before the whistle and managed to score a try which was converted and the half time was 10-6. There was a sense at the break that things were not right, the chat was poor on the field and lack of team cohesion was evident, we should have been trailing by a lot more. The second half started like the first, poor ball control and too much one out, flat footed stuff and they quickly bagged two more tries to put the game away. We tried hard, but it was too late, although we did score a nice try. We had more opportunities towards then end of the match but once again, poor options and lack of time together reflected in our play. We have a lot of work to do and we all realise it. A desire and commitment to play for each other is still in its infant stage and will need to develop sooner rather than later if we want to be competitive in this division. As individuals players we have a lot of talent, Brad Moore tried hard, Harley Rowley and Kayne Parkinson were effective with limited chances, Hayden Anderson was very good as was Mitchell Maizen at the back. The forwards were off their game, except for Brad Teariki; BT had a huge game and was deserved winner of man of the match. It is not all doom and gloom, we should get all our boys back for next week and with effort at training, hard work on the paddock and a desire to achieve and play as a team, its onward and upward. After it’s only footy and after the tragic accident on the M4 it really puts things into perspective, footy is about having fun and enjoying your time with your teammates. Special thanks to Brad Harper, our injured centre from the trials who turned up and helped out on the day, it is great to have him around the boys. Finally, congratulations to Luke Hardiman who played his 100th game for the St.Clair Comets. It is an achievement he should be very proud of and for one so young it is speaks volume of his commitment to the club and the hard work he and his parents have put in together to see him achieve this unique milestone, well done Luke. TRYSCORERS: Brad Moore and Brad Teariki GOALS: Brad Moore kicked 2 from 2.

UNDER 19/2’s VS Blacktown City Won 26-22 Firstly I would like to welcome everyone to the 2010 season and thank our major sponsor WILMEAT CUT MEATS. Mick has backed this team for a number of years and his generosity is much appreciated by the players and coaching staff. Also on board this year PIRTEK Smithfield (Chris ), SYDNEY WIDE PIPE CLEANING ( Jeff ) and MD DRUMS ( Mad Dog ) thanks for your support. This year the 19 2's create history, being the first time the club has entered 2 C Grade teams in the competition, we would like to thank the COMMITTEE for the opportunity to keep these players at the comets and hopefully we can repay you with a premiership. Today we travelled with our 172's to Kareela Reserve to take on Blacktown City, with 19 players available we went in with a strong squad. We started slowly and struggled to control the ball which made it hard to get out of own half. Blacktown City had all the field possession and posted the first try to lead 4 - 8 this seamed to kick us into gear and we hit back with 2 converted tries to lead 12 - 4 at half time. The second half saw a lot of improvement with better ball control and depth in attack. We were able to score 3 more tries to city's 1 and led 26 - 4, the boys seemed to go into cruise control with 15 minutes to go and let them hit back with 3 quick tries, Thankfully we hung on to win 26 - 22. Player's player today went to Grant Bratby polling 80% of votes and ( 3pts ), coaches award went to James Davies ( 2pts ) and Mushie received ( 1pt ). I would also like to welcome the guys back to the club that haven't played for the comets for a while but have been given another chance. Steve, Jeremy, Michael, Mitch R, Tim, Mickey and Springy and the new players Ben, Hayden and Grant, combined with players from last year, its possible they can go all the way. To new and old parents welcome back. We are all here to encourage the boys and support them while playing , hopefully they will all enjoy the season and even learn something new. To My coaching staff Paul, Wayne, Ronnie and Rob HERE WE GO AGAIN. To Gavin and the boys ( 172's ) well done on your first win and to Beggsy from 19 1's scoring 9 tries well done mate.

UNDER 16/2’s VS Rooty Hill Draw 30-30 Our first game of the season was marred with a disruptive week for training but this did not stop the boys fighting hard right until the final whistle. The game was evenly matched right from the start with Rooty Hill putting the first points on the board our boys answered back with Joe swan diving across the line followed by Toma and with Jhi's conversions to put us in front at the first half. Second half the boys came out a little battered as the heat was starting to take its toll on a few of the bigger boys, who had worked hard as we only had 2 reserves and the Rooty hill side started to gain a little momentum and put a few tries together to take a hold on the game. Thanks to Mick, Toma and Travis, also some conversions from Jhi, we were able to finish up with a satisfying draw. The boys due to the extensive work which in some ways brought on them selves by the poor control of the football and the lack of fitness from a disruptive week of training in the lead up to the game, also a part of Rooty Hill getting control of the game was our lack of self control in situations. The defence of the team was good at times with Travis especially after he chased down a Rooty Hill player, who he gave at least 30m start to stop a definite try. Matt Hyde was good up front with Damon and Toma out wide, also Wayne who was playing out of position was good as he stopped some attacking raids from the opposition. A promising start to the season with all the boys having a good hit out, and with a full squad on deck we will no doubt give this competition a good shake. A thanks goes to the trainers in Brad and Ned who has came on board and it was good to see a trainer who not only gave the boys water ,but he gave them good advise in situations were they lost control a little and also thanks to Errol for his help on the day. Also thanks to Rachael for her help in doing the managers job for the day, as it was her first go, but if there is someone out there who would like to do the duties fulltime she would gratefully hand the duties over. Also we are still looking for a sponsor for the team, so if you are interested or now of some one who would like to sponsor the side please contact Steve Long or Brad Turnbull COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Steve Long Brad, Ned & Neville 16/2’s Proudly Sponsored by:

A Grade VS Emu Plains Lost 34-12 Thanks to our major sponsors Blue Cattle Dog Hotel, Mathews Meats, St Marys RSL, ICU Maintenance Services Dalla Interiors Greetings to the whole Club, team’s players, staff, parents & supporters family & friends. 2010 another year, same cue, take 5, action camera and its all on again. It’s great to be back in the cauldron once again, of what will be a very testing season but, gainful time for many of the younger players in A Grade playing with older heads and more experience. We are in Year 2 of the 3yr plan with 2009 the “honeymoon period” over done and dusted and now it is about feeding off last years great overall performance. Can it be done? Yes it can, with the same regimen of self belief that was shown last year there is no reason not to. There has been player turnover with some leaving and others winning promotion so we are in a similar position to last year but as mentioned, with a little more wisdom and experience. To the AGELESS WARRIOR Wills for gracefully accepting Bobbies appointment as Captain and we know that he will do the title justice as much as you did. Today’s game was not the result we wanted but, it is the blowout that everyone needs players and coaches alike. It is from here that we charter our course forward and it obviously shows which areas need working on. Overall the performance was very good and with 20min remaining there were only 2 tries in it. Our defence was brilliant and mediocre at times with our edges needing more communication and that will come. Our attack is lacking fluency at the moment and there has to be a little more patience allowing the lead sets to open up the defence for the halves to capitalise. A few opportunities on their line were not maximised to the fullest but, mistakes made means lessons learnt. Players player big Lawrence (BF2pts) made a huge impact on debut with some telling runs off magic balls from Bobby with the big fella getting the (BF3pts) and another Big fella Johnny getting the (BF 1pt). Everyone did well with all debutants exceptional in their first run in A Grade, hey Boys, this only the start, buckle up, and knuckle down there’s a lonnggg way to go. Cheers to the Reggies for a great 2nd half comeback. To our staff and masseurs Micky, Scott, great effort without Dave there and not to be forgotten Dougie who is helping out wherever he can and Noelie (Chief of Finance). Last but not least Lisa Armstrong and Helen Tairi for laundry

UNDE 12/1’ VS Quakers Hill Won 22-8 R s First of all I would like to welcome everyone back for the 2010 season and a big welcome to our sponsor Norms Scrap Metal thanks for your continued support.Well today was a start of a new year with a very disappointing trial results we came into todays game a bit low on confidence but with a scrappy game we came away with the 2 points which was a good result to get the win and still play bad is always a good sign. We also have 5 new players to the side which is going to take a while for them to get used to the speed of first division so fellas a big welcome to Bailey, Brad , Mark, Blake and Johno welcome. To all the returning boys its good to have you back and I look forward to a successful year. On the game today we scored a couple of good tries and did some good things but we really still have to improve our structure in attack which comes down to our halves and our edge defence but in saying this quakers did finish 4th last year and are a good side and with our big fellas getting fitter by the week and a couple more ball sessions and the fellas getting use to a new coaching structure and style of play I am confident we will be a lot better side in the coming weeks .Good games today by Dozer who had a great game and was able to last the whole game well done mate and to his partner Jake who busted his bum all game and did a lot of the hard work and to Johno scored a try on his first touch in first division football so boys lets keep working hard at training and keep improving and we will be right. I would also like to thank all the parents for there support at the start of they year and to the new coaching staff Garry, Fred , Troy and big thanks to TC for all there help in the pre season

UNDER 16/1’s VS Emu Plains Lost 28-18 To Peter Hickey and his team from “Valley Fitness” at, St Marys thank you for again sponsoring our boys for the 2010 season. Well what a way to start the 2010 season with a hard fought loss to Emu Plains. With only 11 players to choose from to take the field until our players from Penrith Harold Matts players return, it was a tough ask. I was lucky to be able to call on 3 player from the 15/2's ( Zak Hakos, Andrew Donnelly, Liam Williamson) and 2 players from 15/1's ( Dean Collins, Adam Bektas) to help out and these boys played outstanding with Dean & adam both scoring tries. All these players has already played the day before in there own side. Great job boys. To my boys the day started off on the wrong foot in so many ways we had one not turn up, cause he had other plans(not good enough) and then we lost jordan Grant in the first hit up of the game with a eye injury and take no further part in the game. The first half was played with both side fumbling there way to 2 tries a piece and scores locked at 8 all. The second half statred the same way when we lost another 2 players soon after the kick off and now we were down to 12 players. Emu kicked clear at this stage to lead 22-8 and there was still 25 min left to play. Our boys then lifted and started to play some real good football and got the score back to 22-18, with 15 min left to play. Our boys then statred to fatigue and when Emu have still got all players on deck scored two late tries to finish up 28-18 winners. Our boys really showed guts and determination when they were down and it won't be long until everything will fall into place and when it does look out all these other sides. Try scores for the game were Dean & Adam(15/1's) Alex and Elia who also kick a goal. Once a gain great effort boys. Blake Dunscome was the players player for the game. Top stuff Blake. To all the parents a very big thank you for your support and again a huge thank you to “Valley Fitness” for their continuing sponsorship and support COACH: MANAGER: TRAINER: Craig Allison Mick Dodds Jason Kuhl/Craig Lamb 16/1’s Proudly Sponsored by: Valley Fitness, St Marys
