Colts put three titles on the line

Graham Croker

Go west young man – that is the cry for Sydney University Football Club supporters on Saturday when the club’s three Colts teams defend their titles at Concord Oval.

Colts 3 will start the day at 11.50am when they take on Gordon in the 2009 decider. The team will be shooting for a third successive title having won premierships in 2007 and 2008.

Colts 2 will be playing for a fourth successive title when they take on Eastern Suburbs, with a scheduled starting time of 1.15pm.
And Colts 1 will be chasing a third successive title when they take on Southern Districts at 3pm.

The bad news for Sydney University Colts 1 is they have lost centre Michael Hodge for the season decider, while the good news for Southern Districts is NSWRU has given Waratah centre Rob Horne special dispensation to turn out for the grand final. He has played two senior games for the club during 2009.
Despite facing the many hurdles that keep being placed in their way, Sydney University Colts have won the Colts Club Championship in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
