Late Tries Seals Waverley’s Fate

Waverley hit the Frog and Toad and headed North, way North to visit fellow Blue and Gold club, St Ives. The Flying Fifths also went North to Macquarie Uni, and the Women West to Merrylands.

At the end of the day, Waverley walked away with wins in 4th Grade and Colts, and a draw in 3rd Grade. Unfortunately this meant Waverley lost 1st and 2nd Grade, Flying Fifths and Women.

The result matrix was as follows:

While not a good result by any means, especially as it makes Waverley’s 2nd Grade finals aspirations very tough, there were some good signs, particularly in 1st Grade, where Waverley had the chance to take the points with 10 minutes to go, only to suffer a late flurry of tries to lose the match.

Discipline Needed

Waverley has received another Red Card this weekend, and now means we are sitting on the edge of our tolerable limit.

All players are reminded of the need for on field discipline, especially with regard to back chat.
