Game 1 July PREVIEW: AWAY vs Carlton Green... the green grass of Cornwall Park

Image
Hi folks Our game this week is AWAY vs Carlton Green at Cornwall Park 2a.  Our meet time for the game is 8:40am sharp.  As always (if you haven't already), please let Nick and myself know if you are unable to make the game as soon as you're able. Here is a map to the ground: You will note the grounds are the part of Cornwall Park that extends behind the ASB Showgrounds.  As you go travel along Greenlane Road West, instead of turning left into Corwall Park / One Tree Hill, you turn right at those lights on to Puriri Drive.  You'll see the rugby fields on the right (just past the rugby league club rooms). See you all Saturday ready for another round of Penguins awesomeness!!! Paul

10 June REVIEW: HOME vs College Rifles Shooters

Image
Your Mighty Penguins (tm) finally got to play at home (in the Igloo!) at Lloyd Elsmore Park today against a solid College Rifles Shooters team.  The sun was shining, the temperature was decidedly, fortunately, not sub antarctic and some pretty decent footy got played. The Penguins took a little while to get in the game - with the Shooters living up to their name and firing right from the kickoff.  Your heroes started to turn the tide when were able to put some pressure on the Shooters ball runners, with Josh, J-Dub and Sean all getting stuck in and moving "up" hard and fast on the tap. So after a slow start, the Mighty Penguin Big Orange and Green Forward Machine (tm) started revving up.  Leading the way were Michael and Mason - cleaning Shooters out of the way time and time again, and Joey working hard to support them when the Machine cleared the path.  Two way player Jake then showed he wears his undies outside his jeans, by Superman-ing out the Shooters forwar...

Weigh in tonight!

Hi folks A reminder the weigh in is tonight at the club.  Please be there at 5:10pm ready to go! Paul

Penguins Team Photo

Hi folks Our team photo is scheduled for Wednesday 5 July at 7:12.  We will plan to meet at 7pm so we're ready to go. As in previous years, I'd expect we'll need to pay in advance on the night.  Cash and eftpos are both available options for payment. That's all the info I have - if any more comes to hand I'll update this post. Cheers, Paul

10 June PREVIEW: HOME vs College Rifles Shooters

Hi folks We finally have a legit home game!  We are playing vs College Rifles Shooters on Lloyd Elsmore Park 2a.  Meet time for the game is 8:40am. Field 2a is next to the car park behind the club rooms (ie between the club rooms and the internal road next to the hockey grounds). Here's hoping for open grounds and a good game of footy.  Rifles typically have good rugby teams so I'd expect the Shooters to be no different. See you all there!

Training Saturday 3 June - CANCELLED
