The Week Ahead 28th July – 3rd august
I hope people are still reading this! I must admit I did feel a little down this morning given the news that we are heading into another 4 weeks of lock down and so, barring any miracles, it probably finishes the season. I will stay positive and hope there is the...
“Let There Be Light”….. How can you Help
The Cats predominantly play and train on Steve Chisholm Oval which is the turf oval at Blackman Park. Although there are lights on this ground they barely provide enough light to walk across let alone play a game of AFL. The photo below which was taken early in the...

Match Report R7: Auskick Sunday 20th June 2021
Hope everyone has thawed out from Sunday morning, it actually turned out to be a really good morning with the rain holding off (for Auskick at least...), much better than what the forecast was suggesting! Special mention to those parents who came down to help out on...
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...
The Week Ahead 16th june – 22nd june
Rumour has it that these Lamingtons were seen on the desert menu at the G7 in England... Don't miss out order up big in our Lamington Drive which closes on the 9th July. This is another important fundraiser for the club. Wednesday 16th June 17:00 - 18:00 U10/U12 Girls...
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...
The Week Ahead 9th june – 15th june
There is no local junior football on this weekend... Fear not.. You can spend the spare time you have ordering up big in our Lamington Drive which closes on the 9th July. This is another important fundraiser for the club. Wednesday 2nd June 17:00 - 18:00 U10/U12 Girls...

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...
Match Report R8: LCC U11-3 Duncan vs St Ives U11-3 Sunday 6th June 2021
Oh what a brave performance against quality opposition but a heart-breaking result! Team Duncan keep inching closer towards our first win of 2021 but narrowly missed by 4 points on Sunday 35-31. Urged on by our new cheer squad leader Sachin, we welcomed back Aza from...
Match Report R6: Auskick Sunday 6th June 2021
What a great morning this morning, chilly to start but once the sun peeked over the trees it was really nice. We'll set up 2 groups in future on the oval closest to Steve Chisholm Oval so we're maximising the sun, apologies to the Giants kids who were a bit cold in...
Match Report R8: LCC U10YG vs Willoughby Wildcats U10YG Sunday 6th June 2021
A mid-week change to the season fixtures meant that a 9:30am centre-bounce at Gore Hill was brought forward to 8:30am. This early start, and the sub-antarctic temperatures, could've meant that few were there to watch the game. But no, we had our strongest contingent...
Match Report R8: LCC U16yg Barr vs Pittwater Tigers U16YG Sunday 6th June 2021
You may recall the mandate the scribe awarded himself, that if players didn’t have good footy nicknames by about now, they would be provided with one. Bad time to appear in the paper, Lily “cover girl” Dorahy. The mid season reshuffling of the draw means it is Round 8...
Match Report R7: LCC U12 Henry vs Manly Bombers U12 Sunday 30th May 2021
For the 2nd week in a row, our opponent was the Manly Bombers (MB), this time back at home. Our side took on a similar look to the previous week with only acouple of changes. Unfortunately Lewis Thame arrived for the warm up, but a loose tooth forced him to miss the...
