This week's game Social
Scene |
Sam Henry was the hero for Hunters Hill as First Grade snatched a thrilling draw against Balmain at Blackmore Oval at the weekend.
Hillies found themselves on the back foot for most of the second half, as wave after wave of Balmain attack threatened. While Henry's heartbreaker capped a fine all-round performance from the inside-centre, flankers Luke McLennan and Colman Taylor also served Hillies admirably in the loose forwards as they did just enough to avoid defeat against their bitter Leichhardt-based rivals.
The Thirds cantered to their 11th straight victory in a 21-7 win with 19 year old LaLa Havea and not 19 year old Tim Dodds the stars. 
This is it. 
It was a night of Trivia, infamous Doddsy quotes, massive bottles of scotch, mysteries (as in how did that get here officer?), stuffed animals, drinking beer through milk straws, Peter Allen look alikes, yes folks it had it all, even a marriage proposal at the end of the night. Alas this year did not feature the Verto brothers rapping, but in the end there could only be one team crowned as winners, and that was Norfolk Hope, yes we were amazed too. Their superior knowledge of cast members of Twilight, long serving prime ministers, Home and Away actresses turned radio stars, All Black point scorers, Womens Netball, Drug Cheats with the same name as current players (no not Doddsy) etc got them over the line and in the prizes.
Trivia Night was a great success. Club Captain Column Quiz was a resounding failure.
If you are new to the club in 2009 you would be very wise to go on tour. It’s your chance to get fully immersed in the brotherhood of Hunters Hill. You only get out what you put in to clublife so put a deposit in and book a ticket.
