North Ipswich Leagues Club Norths Seniors Ritchie’s Rant : Round 9

Ritchie’s Rant : Round 9

Hello all,

Last weekend was a great success with all three of our teams having good wins on Sunday. A Grade ground out a gutsy 30-10 victory over Swifts, to retain the Harry Langer trophy once more, and held on even after being reduced to eleven men late in the game. Reserve Grade returned to the winners circle with a close 24-22 win over Swifts thanks to a late penalty goal. Under 18s had the bye after the withdrawal of Springfield’s side from the competition whilst our C Grade side continued their good form with a strong 34-12 win over Springfield in the Open 2’s.

A special thanks to Swifts and Souths-Logan for allowing North’s to host their Ladies clash after the A Grade last week. It was great for our A Grade squad to be able to enjoy a beer in the can bar, relax and watch some football for once after a good win. It was also great to be able to host the Ipswich Hornets and Toowoomba Clydesdales Under 10s schoolboy rep game early in the morning, a big thank you to all those who came along.

This weekend sees A Grade, Reserve Grade and Under 18s taking on West End at Davies Park (West End) on Saturday night (Team lists and game times are below), whilst our C Grade side take on Lowood at The Oval tonight in what should be another tough affair. I hope you can join us to cheer the boys on at some stage over the weekend.

With all of our sides playing tonight or tomorrow our players have organised a social lawn bowls day for Sunday at the North Ipswich Bowls Club. This has been organised as a fundraiser for their end of season trip to Cairns. The cost for the day is $20 which will include the lawn bowls and a sausage sizzle back at Tiger Town in the afternoon, with the boys planning on kicking back and enjoying a few $2 pots at North’s through the afternoon. If you would like to join in the fun then head along to the North Ippy Bowls Club for a 1pm start, supporters and sponsors are more than welcome to come along and enjoy a day with the boys.
