A chilly, but bright weekend greeted our teams as they set about keeping the #TeamUNSW spirit alive into the back half of this unprecedented winter sport season. Let's see how they did as we go around the grounds for this week
Two tough losses to arch-rivals Sydney Uni in Premier Division this week, with both our men's and women's teams going down to the Camperdown menace. A tough day on the field especially for the women, who aren't have much go their way this season. Isabella Hardwick and Jade Jarrett were the only goalkickers for the Bulldogs. The men suffered a heartbreakingly close loss, going down by only nine points in a low scoring affair. Errol Gulden kicked two goals, while Thomas Banuelos, Joey Reinhard and Ned Reinhard scored one each.

The UNSW Seis had a big win on the weekend, taking down the Double Bay Diamonds by almost 20 goals. With only two rounds remaining in the Covid-shortened season, they are sitting in second place and have put themselves in the box seat to contest for the premiership. With only one week of finals this season, only the top two have a chance to take out the title and the Seis are looking like real contenders.
