I hope everyone enjoyed their mid-year break. Since our last edition, Shore AFL has kept very busy with Representative Football, camps and training.

In the final week of Term 2, The Combined President’s (GPS) XVIII played against The Combined CAS team. Shore had three boys selected for The President’s XVIII: Alex Wyborn, Jasper Hogarth-Scott and Lachlan Watson. The match was played on Wednesday 21 June at Blackman Park, Lane Cove. The President’s XVIII came out strong and had a 20-point lead after half time. The score line could have been more dominant if they had converted more of their kicks. In the second half, the CAS boys came back and narrowed the gap to just a few points, before The President’s boys went away with it and won the one-off match 9.11 (65) – 8.3 (51) to take out the trophy. Well done to our boys who all got plenty of minutes and never looked out of place.

We then went on a couple of weeks break although we were scheduled to host an AFL Camp for students from Years 5 – 8 at Northbridge Playing Fields F and G in the final week of the holidays. Unfortunately, with over 220mm of rain leading into the week, the fields were underwater and the event had to be cancelled. We aim to host our next camp at the end of the Summer (January 2023) holidays to welcome new students and continue to build our current AFL players. In the same week, our Senior boys had their compulsory training camp. This was held at Gore Hill Oval with two days of training from Head Coach, Chris Murphy and the third day doing Strength and Conditioning with Hamish Sheehan. It was great to see a large turnout, making sure our boys keep up their skills and fitness to best prepare themselves for the final three rounds of the season. The boys are very motivated to finish the season undefeated and on top of the ladder.

Returning back for Term 3, the boys were eager to lace the boots back up, train hard and get ready for Round 8 of the ISC AFL Competition. Unfortunately, 2022 has dealt out plenty of wet weather and the continual rain throughout the week meant that all grounds were washed out and all scheduled matches cancelled. This was disappointing, given that there are just two rounds remaining. Let’s hope the weather clears up and we can finish the season on a good note.

In this week’s edition of the Roberts-Thomson Report, the front cover belongs to Captain of Shore AFL, Alex Wyborn. Alex is donning The Combined President’s XVIII guernsey going up for a mark. You can read a more in-depth article of the match inside the report below. With just two rounds remaining, Thomas Hamilton remains the leader with the Golden Boot just one clear of Henry Marshall.
