That 2010, was the last time Gordon won 4 games and Uni the other 3.
Some of our Colts may have been in Kindergarden back then.
But to all our country followers, new parents and supporters and players, things got better, as our first 8 rounds that year 1st grade had won 3 from 8 games.
This season we are 4 wins and 4 loses. In fact 17 weeks later in 2010 we had won four Premierships, one Finalist and 4ths came 4th, and all our Colts won their Competitions.
That weekend our 1st grade with only 3 wins in the first two months beat
Randwick 46-6 (A Shute Shield winning margin still today). So if you your team is having a rough time at moment, just think of the club this time 13 years ago.
We had some great News for our SUWFC late last week with our girls Club picking up another Wallaroo Captain in Piper Duck (who is the youngest Captain ever). In 1998 Nichole Wickert was our first Captain, followed by Ashley Hewson in 2016 and our third Captain was Grace Hamilton and now Piper our 4th Skipper. Congratulations Piper.
