Once again off to Wyoming, where the sky was threatening, the pitch slow and the moat full. Fortunately, we all made the game on time. Unfortunately supercoach Dave ‘Paymemorekash’ Prakash thought it was Wednesday and warmed us up rather efficiently. Read more
Round 5 saw us away to Killarney Vale and despite another wet week, EDSAAC Oval was thankfully in pretty good shape for the game. Kilarney started the game strongly and we found ourselves having to defend for long periods, so it was a little against the run of play when Adam was released with a great through ball and put one on one with their keeper, which he finished off with a composed finish.

Round 4 saw our home game against Avoca thankfully moved from the ‘never-to-be-played-on’ Terry Oval to Alan Davidson Oval in Wyoming. After the disappointment of dominating against The Entrance in round 3 and failing to capitalise, our target was clearly to convert the chances that we had been creating, in order to ensure the securing of all three points.

With Duffy’s Oval closed, it was back to Wyoming where a warm day and a wet pitch awaited. Barnstoneworth started minus their captain, who was stuck in traffic, and after a frenetic first ten minutes, Mountains landed the first goal. Read more
Much to our surprise given the rainfall of biblical proportions in the week leading up to the game, round 3 saw us travel to Pat Morley Oval to play the table-topping Entrance 2. After our disappointing last minute loss in round 2, the focus was very much on keeping our discipline right to the final whistle, which would hopefully allow us to stay in touch the top 3 teams who had all bagged maximum points so far.

After our big win in the opening round, we were all looking forward to our round 2 game against Kanwal, which had been moved from Terry Oval Eastern Road Oval, Bateau Bay. It was certainly the first time we had played there as a team and despite the pitch being a little soft in some areas and the grass being longer than might have been ideal, it looked like playing okay.

Coming off a 4-2 defeat last week on a muddy Wyoming pitch, the Fs were heartened by the sight of a solid green field of good grass at Bateau Bay. After a solid training effort on Wednesday night practising 5-on-5 attacks, the Fs were feeling slightly more organised than in the opening game. Read more
The team travelled to Allan Davidson oval Wyoming for the first games of the 2015 season and the first game together as a new team. After a trial victory a couple of weeks before, hopes were high of a good first up result. Read more
The 35B’s 2015 season campaign commenced with a pleasant trip to the peninsula for a match against Southern Ettalong. As our opponents had been promoted from C grade, we had no idea what to expect but we were certainly looking forward to the game, especially after the rain had closed a number of other grounds.

Man of the Match – Tim Watt
As the ancient prophecy foretold, the mighty Barnstoneworth 35Ds opened their season with a cracking 4-1 win over Kincumber. A great injection of new talent has revitalised the team, with a bunch of new players bringing some much needed strength in all areas of the pitch. Read more
