Easts junior league clubs

Souths did a real number on Easts back in the fifties. Wasn't it SG Ball who was on the Souths and NSWRL board who practically re-drew the boundary lines back then?

A bit sketchy on the fine details off the top of my head, but I know for certain that Moore Park, Randwick & Coogee, etc were definitely in the Eastern Suburbs catchment for junior rugby league. Anything east of Anzac Parade down to Rainbow St was Easts. George set up Souths Juniors right on the junction of the junior catchments at Daceyville, and then went on to annex those suburbs north & east of it for Souths, because he could.

I'm a souths supporter by the way, but you won't get one-eyed clap trap from me. I'll always call it as I see it.

The greatest thing George did was set up Souths Juniors. With some more influence in the 80s, Souths then got to annex Newtown's juniors when they folded. All the way out to Marrickville & Tempe. It's a decent catchment for Souths in terms of density, although gentrification has done them no favours.
Your sure you're a Souths supporter?

From what I understand, the old boundaries were along local council lines. Easts territory included Randwick counci l(as well as Sydney City, Woollarha and Waverley councils)l, which I believe stretched all the way to Malabar, so it would also include clubs like the Maroubra Lions and Souther Eastern.

Top tip!

Avoid cutting yourself while clumsily slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Just to be CLear for the Confused People Out the Eastern Suburbs Junior League Clubs are:

PADDINGTON WOOLLAHRA TIGERS

CLOVELLY CROCODILES

ST CHARLES

AND

BONDI UNITED.

That is all the Junior Clubs that Easts Have. They play in the South Sydney Juniors District Comp as they don't have a strong Comp and needed to play somewhere...

Berkeley in Wollongong is also affiliated with the Roosters.

They hold trials and junior footy clinics down here each year with the Illawarra sports high being next door, plenty of talented kids have come through that school over the years.

When the junior boundaries were redrawn Bondi and Paddington had millions of working class people who played rugby league whilst a lot of areas around Maroubra/mascot etc were paddocks where not that many people lived.
