CENTRAL NEWCASTLE<br />
CENTRAL NEWCASTLE, THE MIGHTY BUTCHER BOYS<br />
The Butcher Boys felt honoured for our Club to be part of the last game of rugby league ever at<br />
Maitland Sportsground, however, we were going there to spoil their party.<br />
Our 19s got us off to a great start with a comprehensive 32 – 0 victory. I’m sure coach Gilbert would<br />
have been extra pleased with his side’s defence, keeping the young Pickers scoreless.<br />
As I predicted, Open Grade were back in the winner’s circle with a 22 to 14 victory over the<br />
previously undefeated Pickers team. A great effort to all Junior involved Affiliates and a special mention to the old<br />
boy, Shane Ryan, for a 2 try effort on his return.<br />
After last week’s great effort our Reggies fell again by the way side. These guys have to remember<br />
to keep putting in week in week out and with 9 games left in the season who knows what they<br />
could achieve.<br />
By the time First Grade ran out, the crowd had rolled in to witness the historic occasion. The<br />
Pickers got off to a flyer with a couple of early tries, however, the Butcher Boys hit back to be only<br />
2 behind at oranges. Clearly it was anyone’s game at this stage and the second 40 proved that,<br />
because by the time the full time hooter sounded, not only on the game, but the last time it will be<br />
heard on the ground, the sides couldn’t be split and had to make do with a point each.<br />
Today we travel on our first trip to Cessnock in wine country and like all visitors who venture there<br />
we want to leave happy and bring home the spoils.<br />
My bold prediction for this week is for the Mighty Butcher to knock the Goeys off in all 4 grades at<br />
their home ground.<br />
