Colts Round 8 2017
Well done to all our players. It was a tough week this week with many games impacted by the weather but it didn't stop the Colts spirit which was in full force as always!
Round 7 - Results and Game Review
Hi Colts Family,
Round 7 - Colts U6s played Bondi United U6 (white) - Well we have suffered our 1st Loss for the season..... Bondi United we're to strong and quick for us this week beating us 14 tries to Colts 12 tries. We were just not there this week, we were slow and tired, and we didn't react at all when United had the ball.....
Well I have to write to the NRL for scheduling our team to play on the biggest stage we've ever played Allianz Stadium without any turn around time..... I put down our first loss to this fact alone..... All the boys seemed to enjoy themselves and have some fun especially doing hurdles over the dead ball signs...... We played Bondi United before the main game and Clovelly Crocs during the break at half time..... We easily won both games with all the boys playing well and scoring tries with ease..... The big stage didn't faze the boys, they took it all in their stride and stepped up on the big stage..... I hope all the boys and their family members that attended had fun!!!!!
A special thanks this week goes to Beau and Nixon Clark who both backed after the U5s game to help us out as we had to of our top stars on all night benders.....
Beau was outstanding playing tough and rugged giving his all and getting into everything...... Nixon was amazing showing no fear running the ball like a seasoned U6'er..... Thanks heaps boys we really appreciated your help..... Well Done!!!!!
Billy Walker I heard went back stage with Screaming Jets & Baby Animals after the Roosters Game..... No wonder he didn't turn up on Sunday..... Hope you said Gday to Gleeso and Suzie for Paul and Eben.......
Cash Parry was outstanding in defence showing great skills to bring down the United attack...... Cash is growing with confidence every game, and is starting to believe in his size and strength, Cash made several strong runs scoring 3 great tries. Well done Cash.
Koa Kelk - Was also out all night celebrating the Roosters win....... Happy Birthday for this weekend Koa...... No more all nighters please......
Brock Dalley - Spent most of the game on United's side, at one stage I thought Brock was playing for United...... Brock continued his recent form with several great runs, and scoring his 1st try, earning this weeks Merit Award...... Keep it up Brock, imagine what you could do if you spent more time on our side!!!!!
Leo Lynch - Continued his recent form playing out of his skin for the second week running..... Leo is also growing in confidence with every game, Leo made several impressive runs scoring his first try, and he continued showing us how big his heart is making several great tackles. Well done Leo!!!!!
E.T. - Also kept up his great form scoring 3 great tries this week. Keep up the great work E.T.!!!!!
Odin Goyoaga - Impressed this week with his defence and the cover tackle of the year, with a great diving tackle knocking United's best attacker (a girl) over the sideline with a copybook tackle..... Odin also managed to keep up his try scoring average again scoring 4 tries.....
Tane Goyoaga was out with Bronchiolitis and not allowed to leave the house but was still happy to smash any food on offer.....
Well done again boys. Remember stay off the beer, stay away from girls and no late nights & you'll play much better game day!!!!!! A Huge Thanks again to Beau & Nixon.....
Player of the Match - Leo Lynch Merit Award - Brock Dalley
Don't forget to come along to Koa's 6th Birthday this Saturday at Little Dynamos, 33 Maddox Street Alexandria starting at 12:15hrs

A message to the Paddington Colts U 9's from Coach Richard Thomas
Good afternoon everyone,
Tomorrow at 4pm at the Centennial Park Reservoir. We have been quite short of numbers in recent weeks partly due to weather so a full team at training tomorrow would be fantastic. If not can you please let me know so I can plan the session accordingly. If logistics are an issue, please let me know and I can help arrange transport.
This Sundays game 4th June
vs Liechhardt Wanderers Black
11:10am - Blackmore Oval
(Same place we played the round robin tournament)
Click Here
If we can all be there at 10:40am for a warm that would be great.
Very abbreviated weekend wrap from last Sunday vs Bondi United
We were sadly on the wrong side of the ledger despite several promising plays. As soon as we start playing as a team for a full game and stick to our basic structure we will be able to have a lot more success and a lot more fun.
Axe of the week went to Jasper Thomas for hanging on for his determination in defence despite copping a bit a nasty bruise to his shoulder at rugby the day before.
Better than Lego award went to Archie Creswick for his best game so far this year. He really improved a lot and made some great runs with the footy. This award each week is not about the best player on the paddock, its about the player who shows the most improvement, determination and commitment. So each week there is often a number of players who are strong candidates.
OUR GOAL FOR THIS WEEK
'Get to our kick, every set'
Inspired by last night's '1-short-of-perfect' completion rates by both teams in the first half (NSW 18/19, QLD 18/18).
Tomorrow I will be working with the boys on playing simple, safe footy, trusting the process and completing our sets. Good old fashioned rugby league!
See you tomorrow or on Sunday.
Cheers,
Richard Thomas
1967 A Grade Premiership Winning Team 50th Anniversary
Calling all Paddington Colts Family
All our Paddington Colts Senior Teams are at Waverley Oval this Sunday, in honour of our 1967 A Grade Premiership Winning Team.
Let's get up there and support and our boys.
"See you at the oval!"
BEANIE FOR BRAIN CANCER
Having known the Callander's through the Bronte community and now the Paddington Colts family, recent events certainly do leave me with a tear and a smile.
In what is a very difficult and sad situation, I'm inspired by the way that the local area, the Paddo Colts and especially rugby league as a whole have rallied to support a cause that is impacting some of their own.
Apparently 4000 beanies were sold at the Sharks v Cowboys NRL game last night. Right down to the final beanie which rumour has it, had 2 girls arguing over it! The volunteer staff literally sold the beanies they were wearing!
Then after a few hours sleep we were up early at Bronte Public School for a BBQ breakfast and the Today Show did their live sports cross with Tim Gilbert. A further 700 beanies were sold and over $18,000 raised.
Ok Paddo Colts, it's our turn next! Buy a beanie, donate to the Mark Hughes Foundation.
There will be Beanies available to purchase at Sunday's games, any NRL game this round, or through
COLTS ON GAME DAY!!
A great Club has great people.
we have them in Truck-loads Thanks to all our Colts Family for all their hard work we are many we are Varied but we are always "One".

Good afternoon Colts Mums and Dads,
I have received several emails from parents concerned about the synthetic surface our kids will be playing on this year at Waverley Oval No.2 - in relation to the surface being hard and kids getting burns from the synthetic grass.....
The only thing I can recommend in relation to burns would be to get your kids Skins etc. to wear under their playing strip.
In relation to the surface being hard/harder than turf..... In my opinion after walking on the field a few weeks ago during the recruitment drive the surface is Soft, not harder than any normal turf field.... I played my junior footy with The Colts in the 80's and the fields we played on were dust bowls that were harder than concrete with cricket pitches in the middle of the field..... I can't remember a game I didn't get grass burns...... This is part of the game.....
The synthetic surface is the most state of the art, modern playable surface available...... Our kids will be better for the experience and should feel privileged playing here.
