Around the Grounds: 24-26 July
Week two of competition for most of our teams saw some rain, mud and plenty of joy to be out and about representing #TeamUNSW!
Published on the 30 July 2020
In a season that could be cut short at any moment, there is a real celebration of sport in the air - win, lose or draw, it's all about getting out in the fresh air with teammates and putting your heart and soul into every game.
AFL
Another huge win for the Men's Premier Division team this week, destroying the East Coast Eagles by almost 100 points. Jonny Pawle and Errol Gulden led the scoring for the Dogs, grabbing three goals each. Jared Deep was also pivotal with two goals and plenty of playmaking spark. The season unfortunately hasn't started as well for the Women's Premier Division team, held to nil by the Eagles this week in a very tough match. Senna Gulden and Madison Moar were among the Dogs' best this week - they will look to bounce back when they take on the Pennant Hills Demons this weekend.

NETBALL
The start of the season for the UNSW Netball Club threatened rain, but it held off long enough for our teams to get out on the court and celebrate the delayed start to the season. The late start means that teams will only play seven rounds of competition, followed by one round of finals, so it will be a tight race to the finish. A big win for UNSW's top team, the A1 Seis, defeating Double Bay by 13 and taking third place on the ladder. They will look to back that up when they play Randwick Rugby this weekend.

RUGBY - SHUTE SHIELD
UNSW's community partner Randwick Rugby didn't have it all their own way this week, facing a much tougher task than their cruisy win the previous week. This week's win was a much tougher battle, eventually overcoming Warringah to record a 13-8 victory. Unfortunately UNSW's Henry Hutchinson was injured in the match and looks unlikely to take any further part in the season.
FOOTBALL (SOCCER)
A big win for UNSW Men's in the NPL 4 on the weekend, with a sensational display by the team against Hurstville FC. Maison Mcgeechan scored two goals, while Des Ford and Matthew Cuda scored one each. Unfortunately for the women's team, the game had to be postponed due to the torrential rain on Sunday afternoon.
