Badge Results

Rain again played havoc with Sydney Badge. Only Manly Teams that played at home were lucky enough to play morning matches. And most synthetic grass court clubs played afternoon matches.
Three of our teams were away to Strathfield and were washed out.
Division 1 Men’s Washout. Still 1st on ladder
Division 2 Men’s Lost 7-1 at home.
One set was won on forfeit. The pairings of Bede and Xander Crabb and Jono and Harry struggled against a strong Voyager Team.

Jon/Dan won 4 sets Victor/Sean 3 sets  Now 2nd on the ladder
Division 6 Men’s  Washout Still 2nd on ladder
Division 7 Men’s washout Now 7th on ladder
Division 9 Men’s washout Now 5th on ladder
Division 11 Men’s Lost 4-4 on games v Collaroy at home
Both pairs won 2 sets. Barnaby/Brett and Tim/Paul  Still 4th on ladder
Division 12 Men’s Washout Still 1st on ladder.

The PMs Marrickville Team had a washout and remain on the bottom of the ladder.
The PM was in Canberra reshuffling his Cabinet and stayed on to watch his Rabbitohs shuffle their way to another loss in the NRL.
Meanwhile the Blues won the State of Origin and The Blue and White Bulldogs march on to the Grand Final!
My Sportsbet account is looking healthy now and will be more flushed when The Bulldogs make the Finals.
