Congratulations on reaching the Semi Finals. Just a few reminders about the games tomorrow.

1. Players will sign on AT LEAST 10 minutes before the start of the game at the Sign-on desk and/or with the 4^th Official. Players will be checked for shin pads, uniform and jewellery at this point (and again by the referee).
2. All teams playing at 1pm will need to arrive early to have the fields set up BY 12:15pm.
3. Teams playing at 3pm will need to pack up the equipment and return it to the storeroom.
4. The ONLY people allowed in the technical area (box) beside the pitch are the subs (with bibs on), and the official coach. Please ensure all other spectators are behind the box.
5. The usual rules regarding behaviour of spectators and players apply – no one is to enter the field of play unless called upon by the referee; no smoking; no alcohol.
6. All substitutions are to be made at the halfway line with the permission of the officials.

3^rd v 4^th in division 1 and 2 will kick-off at 1pm

1^st v 2^nd in both divisions will kick-off at 3pm (unless delayed by the previous game going to extra time and penalties).

Last week we held our July Team Rep meeting - the next is our AGM in October.

5th August was going to be a random round - Blue Mtns and Minchinbury Heat are playing their catch up game. This game will kick off at 3pm at Glenbrook.

12th August - semi finals will be held at Jamison Park fields 5 and 6. 3v4 in both Division 1 and 2 will be held at 1pm and 1v2 at 3pm. Those teams finishing 3rd or 4th, remember to be there early to set up nets. For finals, all players need to sign on at the table between the fields at least 10 minutes prior to kick-off time.

The Grand Final will be held at Glenbrook on Saturday 26th August. There will be a free jumping castle for children, and Blue Mtns City Church or SWAC will be providing a BBQ. All registered players who attend will be eligible to receive a free sausage sandwich and can of drink. See Melissa Holdsworth for your ticket. We are hoping to also have a coffee cart.

The church service on July 1st was fabulous - it was disappointing and embarrassing that more people didn't attend. Some in the committee were quite discouraged by this.

Last Saturday, a handful of players and friends of the association gathered at Blue Mountains City Church in Mt Riverview. We were warmly greeted and enjoyed outstanding music before Brad Dodd spoke about the history of one of his players and his journey over the last few years, linking it to the story of the Prodigal Son. It was a fantastic message and lead into a great time of fellowshipping and supper in the cafe run by the church. Thanks to all who attended and those involved in putting together such a great night. It was quite disappointing to see most teams not represented on the night, though. 

The next Team Rep meeting is approaching - July 26th at Penrith Baps, 7:30pm. Please send agenda items through to the Secretary This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. asap.

To be eligible for finals, all players must be fully financial and have played 5 competition games. This means players registering from now are not eligible for finals.

Just a reminder that no one is to be smoking inside any of our grounds - this is the law. Please encourage players and spectators who need to smoke to do so in the carpark and away from others. We cannot risk losing our grounds.
