Not since 1992 has a Norths side gone through the season proper undefeated! Also it just so happens 1992 was the last year a Norths side won a Premiership...Is it history repeating 22 years on? Well, people who have been around this mighty club for many years will tell you, in no way does this increase our chances of coming away with the silverware come Grand Final Day August 30. We have been here in the past, maybe not undefeated, but clear leaders of the competition & only to come away empty handed. As they say...no one remembers the Minor Premiers. The boys have now had their time in the sun, as of now it all starts again, the form guide is thrown out the window. Those that have been there before know Finals football is a completely different kettle of fish, the occasion, the moment, they all play on the minds of footballers. The good sides, they keep their heads down, continue to work hard & not rest on their laurels.
For our boys the focus for the Finals is the old cliché, one week at a time, not to get ahead of ourselves, take it as it comes & come out the other side victorious. We all enjoyed the moment on Saturday evening, but come Tuesday it's business as usual. Our coaching staff will ensure the boys knuckle down & continue ramping up the intensity. All the boys know & will agree nothing this year has been handed to them, they have worked tirelessly for what they have achieved & continuing with this work ethic will ensure they give themselves the best chance possible.
The first Finals match is the Major Semi Final, 1st v 2nd. With the winner earning the week off & progressing directly to the Grand Final. The loser will play the winner of 3rd v 4th in week 2. With Corrimal finishing second on the competition ladder this sets up an all mighty clash, at Ziems Park Corrimal. That was not a typo...Ziems was selected early in the season as the Illawarra League look for cost savings. To ensure Corrimal do not get any advantage from the venue we need all of our Supporters & Old Dogs to get there and turn it into a home game for us!!
