Another bright and sunny weekend as some of our UNSW teams finished their seasons, others began their finals campaign and some are powering towards the end It's time to our weekly around the grounds report
In the final round of the regular season, our Men's Premier Division finished in the same emphatic style they have been peddling for most of the season, beating the St George Dragons by 64 points. Thomas Banuelos kicked three goals, as did Oscar Peter, while Max Ries, Charlie Burgess-Hoar and Cooper Kilpatrick bagged two each. The team finished the season in third place on the ladder and will now play arch-rivals Sydney Uni in the elimination finals this weekend.
