Match Report Mac U16YG vs Glebe U16yg White Sunday 15th May 2022
Note to readers: this week’s match report is brief…my brain is still stuck in a loop trying to process the innumerable horizontal and vertical stripes out on the field! This week’s match was proof that cats and dogs love a good fight! Our Cats met their toughest...
Match Report MAC U16YG vs Moore Park Tigers Sunday 8th May 2022
This week’s game was a historic moment for the Lane Cove Cats. We celebrated the dynamic duo of Emma Byrne reaching her 100 game milestone and her awesome, dedicated dad, Greg! After a few words, hugs and tears, Emma led the girls through the Cats banner and onto the...
Emma Byrne Plays 100 Games for Lane Cove Cats
Emma Byrne – 100 Games The Cats running onto the field on the 24th April, 2022, marked not only the start of the 2022 season, but the 100th game in the blue and white hoops for Emma Olivia Byrne - the first woman to achieve that mark. As a youngster, Emma flirted with...

Match Report Lane Cove Cats U16YG Round 4 v Miranda Bombers, Waratah Oval 1st May, 2022 The drive from Lane Cove to Miranda at the midpoint of the federal election campaign takes us through the full political colour spectrum; from the pastels of the lower north shore,...
Match Report Lane Cove Cats U16YG Round 3 vs Miranda Bombers Sunday 14th April
It is three hundred and twenty-two days since a chorus of “see you next week’s” after the Tiger’s game. Since then, we locked down for Delta, but no football – discovered Omicron is a letter of the Greek alphabet, but no football – flew to Europe with 15 people in the...
Match Report R9: LCC U10 Blicavs vs Willoughby Wildcats U10 Sunday 20th June 2021
We are usually provided with a very well presented field and opposition when we line up against Willoughby and Sunday was no exception. However, it was bucketing down on Sunday at Willoughby Oval, not a picnic rug in sight in the outer as Team Blicavs ran out to...
Match Report R9: LCC U11-3 vs Hornsby Brewora Eagles Sunday 20th June 2021
Scintillating football from our Cats in Q2 showed our best is good enough, but we need to put it together for all four quarters. The trip to Hornsby gave us one hour of match time in 4 weeks…671 other hours across this four week period could be spent recovering! The...
Match Report R9: LCC U10YG Evans vs Balgowlah Suns U10YG Sunday 20th June 2021
The lead up to this week's game was, as usual, frenetic and disrupted. Team Evans were already one woman down with Lulu out suffering an injured shoulder. But the Mowbray Public School's entry into the Extreme Dance Competition meant that three additional players were...
Match Report R9: LCC U14YG vs Willoughby Mosman U14YG Sunday 20th June 2021
Back to front. We always seem to play Lane Cove at Blackman Park in the wet and cold. I'm not sure if it's the river that's close by or just that Lane Cove is so far from home it feels alone and desolate. Even though our other team's game was washed out today we only...
Celebrating 50 Games: Charli Griebel
When the Cats run on to Steve Chisolm Oval on the afternoon of 20 June, it will mark the 50th time that Charli Griebel has donned the famous blue and white hoops. Recruited into the new Youth Girls’ team in the autumn of 2017 by the enterprising Zerners, she took an...
MATCH REPORT R8: LCC U10 BLICAVS VS PITTWATER TIGERS U10 RANCE SUNDAY 6TH JUNE 2021
Firstly it is hard to believe that the game on the weekend marks the 8th game and midpoint of the season for Team Blicavs. There are only 7 games remaining until the end of the season in the middle of August and with the next 3-4 weeks being interrupted and...
Match Report R8: LCC U14YG vs Willoughby Mosman U14YG White Sunday 6th June 2021
I love the drive out to Middle Head, with views of the harbour on both sides of the car.. It really is a pleasure. I am sure all of the girls were also enjoying the view and warm weather as we again started the game slowly. Willoughby only had 10 players ( we lent...
