This week's Premier Division matches:
Balmain Dockers v UNSW-ES (Drummoyne Oval, Sat 2:10pm)
Won't be picking Balmain again anytime soon. Dogs by 50.

Western Suburbs v Wollongong (Henson Park, Sat 4:30pm)
Wests by 65.

East Coast Eagles v Pennant Hills (Bruce Purser Oval, Sat 6:10pm)
Might head down to watch this game, if I recall correctly it was a wet night last year as well, forecast for the same this weekend. Reckon an upset is looming, Penno by 10.

North Shore v Campbelltown (Blacktown Olympic Park, Sun 2:10pm)
Shore to bounce back in this one, by 25.

Sydney University v St George (Sydney Uni No 1, Sun 2:10pm)
St George by 4 goals. As noted by Shearer, great effort to have 20 of 22 players as local juniors.

Looks like apart from Hawknik, we were all a week early in backing the Dockers. Great to see them get up in both grades. Hope they can build on that.

[Norris Lurker]

Winners for the round were Balmain, Wests, East Coast, North Shore and Sydney Uni.
