Balmain have named their Round 4 squads for SG Ball and Harold Matthews this weekend against South West Sydney Academy and West Coast Pirates.

Balmain went undefeated in both grades last weekend against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs — although both games went right down to the wire. In Harold Matthews, a last-minute field goal saw Balmain emerge with a 19-18 victory after leading 18-0 earlier in the match, while in SG Ball, the Bulldogs scored in the final minutes to tie the game at 8-8.

Their conversion to win the game was unsuccessful, with the match finishing in a draw.

Balmain currently sit in fourth position on the Harold Matthews ladder after an undefeated start to the year while in SG Ball, they sit just outside the top eight in ninth position.

This weekend, Balmain will take on South West Sydney Academy in Harold Matthews at 6:30pm AEST on Saturday, March 8 at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. In SG Ball, Balmain will take on West Coast Pirates at 11:00am AEST on Saturday, March 8 at Charles Riley Reserve.

#SGBALL Balmain 40-28 West Coast Pirates. Great win from the boys all the way over in Perth.

HM won by a big margin against SWSA

Tell me Perth doesn't have a team in the Sydney grade comp? And if they do surely they'd play all games in Sydney??!

Otherwise who on earth is paying for the 40-50 players and staff of each team to travel to or from Perth?!

Also what are the odds of big Pifeleti being promoted to NYC as soon as SG Ball is finished? They're crying out for someone like him!

 

[Yossarian]

Perth have an SG Ball team but not Harold Matthews. So its more like 20 rather than 40-50 people. Yes they play in Perth. I don't know who foots the bill - I assume the Perth people subsidises travel.

Part of a well planed expansion, they are developing reasonable comps in Perth. Loads of east coast people living there, loads of money and when they get it in, it will bring genuine new comers to the game.
