Much like Pennant Hills, South West Sydney raced out to a 32-point lead the quarter-time and were never seriously threatened by the Dragons. Keeping a Premier Division team to 5 goals over 4 quarter on a glorious autumnal Sydney afternoon is a great effort by the well-organised Blues back six.

The Wolves led by 12 points at quarter-time, then Uni came back to lead by a solitary point at the main break. Uni eked out a 7-point lead by three-quarter-time, then hung on in an outstanding 10-goal last quarter.

Scores were level at 94-94 in the 16th minute of the final term, then Uni kicked two goals in a row (from Nathan Tang then Declan Fitzpatrick) before Oliver Rojo kicked the final goal of the match for Manly in the 27th minute.

Manly Warringah showed they are back closer to their best form with a crucial, professional 33-point win over Sydney University at University No.1 Oval.

The Wolves led by just 2 goals at the main break but kicked away to lead by 30 points at the final break. Keeping Uni to 1 goal in each half will please Wolves Head Coach Phil Spratt, with Manly’s defence a major factor in their great run over half a decade.

In an outstanding performance at Henson Park, UNSW-ES defeated North Shore by 13 points.

The key to the Bulldogs superb win was their tackling. They tackled the Bombers out of the game and kept them under pressure for the entire 4 quarters. North Shore will use this loss as motivation for the rest of the season, and again, their poor shooting (4.8) needs work on the training track this week.

The Wolves needed a quick return to form after their heartbreaking loss to Sydney University last week, and they jumped East Coast from the outset, kicking 4, 6, 8 and 4 goals respectively in a simply dominant performance. The Wolves gained crucial percentage as well, in keeping East Coast to just 1 goal & 7 behinds.

Veteran full-forward Trent Dennis-Lane was in vintage form, kicking 9 goals in a superb display. Representative forward Zac Youlten also kicked 3 goals for Manly Warringah.

In the traditional Anzac Day fixture, an accurate Pennant Hills was too strong for Inner West Magpies, running out 103-point winners in front of a big Anzac Day crowd at Croydon Park. Final scores were Pennant Hills 22.9.141 to Inner West Magpies 5.8.38.

After an entertaining 9-goal first quarter, Pennant Hills, on the back of a magnificent performance from key forward Nick Hey, kicked 16 goals to 2 over the final three quarters as they continued their resurrection under second-year coach Jason Blakemore.

A notable move by Blakemore, in the absence of League fullback Mikey Carroll, was to have League ruckman Mitchell Blow mark veteran Magpies full-forward Ben Zoppo. Blow played superbly as a stopgap fullback, with Zoppo switched into the ruck in the second half to get his hands on the ball.

Hey was unstoppable for Pennant Hills, kicking 9 goals despite the best efforts of gallant Magpies defender Keegan Litchfield. Josh Stern, in great early season form, kicked 3 majors for the Demons, as did small forward Oscar Irwin.

North Shore had a huge day against St George at Gore Hill Oval, hammering the Dragons by 146 points.

The Bombers were dynamic in the first tern, kicking an almost unheard of 12.5.77 in the first 25 minutes. The Dragons, at least, fought hard after the first-quarter avalanche, kicking 6 goals over the final 3 quarters whilst the Bombers continued on their merry way, kicking 16 more goals in a quite simply awesome display in front of the faithful at Gore Hill.

Matt Buskariol kicked 7 goals for the Bombers, with the League’s most improved player Cooper Donald adding 5 majors of his own. Thomas Hitchens (4 goals) and Ned hardman (3 goals) hit the scoreboard regularly for North Shore. Hunter Pickett kicked 4 goals for St George in an impressive display, given limited opportunities.

It's May, and Round 5 of the AFL Sydney competition is upon us.

In Men's Prems, just two undefeated teams remain. North Shore have swept all before them, while UTS have given themselves the best chance of breaking their finals drought. Pennant Hills, South-West Sydney and Sydney Uni are chasing them; while Manly and UNSW-ES outside the top five.

In Women's Prems, it’s been a great start to the season for UNSW-ES, who are the only undefeated team. Manly, North Shore, Sydney Uni and UTS are only a game behind and ready to pounce if the Bulldogs slip up.

In one of the best home-and-away clashes of the decade, Manly Warringah held off a fast-finishing North Shore by 2 points in a simply thrilling, fast-paced, breathtaking, and electric game of football at a rocking Weldon Oval.

After a pulsating 11-goal first quarter that had the healthy crowd enthralled, the Wolves and Bombers were separated by a mere three points at half-time and at three-quarter time as the lead changed consistently on warm day and fast track at Curl Curl.

This magnificent game of football was changed completely in the fourth quarter.

Manly kicked the first 4 goals of the final term, with a rare “double goal” from Irishman Barry O’Connor and then Kaden Harbour (who received a free-kick straight after O’Connor’s goal, before the ball had even been returned to the centre square) and, extraordinarily, two successive 6-6-6 transgressions from North Shore leading to 2 more goals, from Taj Livingston (a wonderful left-foot snap from the Lagoon Pocket) and O’Connor (again). North Shore settled and kicked the last 3 goals of the match to just fall short of what would have been an amazing comeback.

O’Connor and Harbour kicked 3 goals each for the Wolves. Angus Loebel, in the best form of his career, kicked 4 goals and Matt Buskariol chipped in with 3 goals for the Bombers.

Manly Warringah’s best players were Byron Laws, Phelan Medallist Kale Gabila, Taine Wright, Kyle Martin, Harbour, and O’Connor. North Shore was best served by Loebel, Cooper Donald, James Tidemann, Buskariol, Thomas Hitchens, and Mitchell Rogers.

ROUND 6 PREVIEW New
Round 6 of Premier Division action in the AFL Sydney competition takes us one third of the way through the home and away season.

Men's Premier Division
A two-game break has opened up between sixth-placed Manly and seventh-placed UNSW-ES; and the teams from seventh and below have plenty of work ahead of them to bridge the gap. Manly’s thrilling win last week keeps them in sight of the top five; had they gone down, they’d have been in a spot of bother.

Women's Premier Division

In the Women's, two games separating fifth from sixth, the teams outside the top five need to lift their game and string some wins together; otherwise we already have our final five.

Manly have the bye this week.
