2012 NSW ICCC - Sydney

[footy59]

The regradings have occurred and Hurstville is now in A Grade.

I think they will give that comp a shake up too, they play Titans on Sunday so that should give some indication if it was the correct thing to do.

I think the regradings committee have done a good job.
Must have been line ball between Titans and Five Dock dropping back though. Dockers may feel a little unlucky.

I think at the end of the day the Dockers can still put points on you and Titans not so much, which would be, IMO, why Titans got relegated.

Hurstville beat Titans 20-12 in their first run in first grade

 

[footy59]

Penshurst also winning over St Christophers, so regrading's are proving spot on.

Regradings look fair and sensible. Did you watch any games footy ?

I watched All Saints and Berala. All Saints did not play well but if your looking for a smokie for this grade it could be Berala. They were very good and hard to stop their 2nd phase play. Valley and Kingsgrove played after that and Valley easily accounted for Kingsgrove. I listened to some of the Hurstville Titans game on the radio and The strenghth of Hurstville overpowered Titans. (the game was shortened due to and injury to Hurstville and ambulance called) Penshurst coming coming up from R2 was no problem as they easily beat St Christophers. ESA beat Liechhardt 28-12. Penshurst and ESA only sides unbeaten so far in R1 so that should be a good game in about 4 weeks.

It would seem I have my 20 posts so I can now post links.

Here is the link I tried to post earlier where you can watch all of All Saints games this year. Gives you a good look at the level of footy against many sides in R1 and why Hurstville will do well in 1st grade.

Who's the favourites for the U/19-1. Early form being no guide with jnr rep players in final stages of S G Ball season. Bankstown Sports look strong and Mascots results look to have improved alot.

 

[footy59]

St Christophers look strong also. Bankstown Sports "were" being fed by the Bulldogs U/20 squad leftovers, but unsure if this is still happening. They now may feed them into Sydney Shield and Bundy sides?

A few of the Bulldogs u/20 leftovers play for St Johns in Sydney Shield.

Rain rain go away, enough is enough!!! The way this comp works the grounds will be too wet for the rest of the season. What's the odds of games being played this week ? If this week gets canned that will be 3 weeks in a row of zero ICCC football. Other districts still play in the wet.

heaven forbid we should damage a few blades of grass in balmain district!

Wests and Canterbury have heaps of grounds at their disposal, not sure why St. George, Souths and Balmain wouldn't consider sending their games out to the sticks where the grounds hold up okay in the wet.

Balmain jrl do cancel games on a Friday at the drop of a hat and don't look for alternative gtounds. I.e. one ground closed means the whole round is.off

If they want to close their grounds thats fine, but maybe backup venue's for all games should be put in place.

Sunday ICCC still weather permitting. Waiting to hear from Balmain to confirm if grounds are available.

All Canterbury allocated grounds are open.

Does that mean the entire round is cancelled if Balmain dont open 1 ground ???

Answer to my own question....I just been informed that all ICCC games are cancelled this weekend again. What a farce this is.
