The West Sydney Pirates Colts’ season has come to an end in Week 1 of the Playoffs. An undermanned Pirates team went down to the Central West Giants by 32-6.
Our thanks to Coaches James Forster, Chris Snagg, their Assistants, and all the players for their efforts this season.
2017 comes to a close but there are plenty of reasons to be positive about the future.
Our Colts had a bye in the final week of the season but our Div 1 had a match up with an under strength and courageous North Western Predators team at Lidcombe Oval.
End of a quick 1st Quarter (it’s was a running clock) and the Pirates lead the Predators 7-0. Halftime at Lidcombe Oval, and to the accompaniment of jubilant Tongan Rugby League fans outside the ground, the Pirates lead the Predators 13-0. End of the 3rd Quarter and the clock is running. Pirates lead 20-0.
Final score Pirates 34 – Predators 0
Pirates finish the Regular Season undefeated and with the #1 seed into the Playoffs.
A big shout out to the North Western Predators who came into this game missing a large number of players. Other teams may have forfeited but not the Predators. They played with heart from start to finish. Thank you and well done.
A great result for the Pirates’ Colts in what was a must-win game. West Sydney Pirates 12 – Northern Sydney Rebels 6.
Cool conditions at Forestville where the Pirates Division 1 Team took on the Northern Sydney Rebels. The Pirates’ Defense was spending a lot of time on the field but the Pirates still held a 7-0 lead at the end of the 1st Quarter. At Halftime at Forestville and the Pirates lead the Rebels 15-6. A quick 3rd Quarter but the Pirates extended their lead. Score moved to Pirates 21 – Rebels 6.
An indifferent performance but it’s a win all the same. The score line was far too close but it’s still a win.
Pirates 21 defeated the Rebels 18.
Pirates now 9-0 and still #1.
