2016 Season – Week 6

Oct 092016

The Pirates’ winning ways continued in Week 6 against local rivals, the Nepean Ducks. The score lines perhaps flattered the Pirates and credit must be given to the Ducks for their spirit and determination.

The Pirates’ Colts started well and had a particularly good First Half. The Second Half was more of an arm-wrestle but the Pirates still ran out winners by 38-6.

The older counterparts didn’t have it all their own way in the Division 1 game either. Despite holding a 31-14 lead at the halftime break, it was more of a struggle later in the game with the scoring by both teams quite limited. The Pirates stumbled at times but still came away with the win by 44-14.

The season is starting to get tougher and both teams will have to be at their best as they head towards Playoff time.

2016 Season – Week 5

Club, Pirates, Trojans

Oct 092016

The Pirates extended their winning streaks in both the Colts and Division 1 competitions with wins over teams from the Northwestern club in Week 5.

The Colts got proceedings underway with a 24-0 shutout win over the Northwestern Giants. The under strength Colts team took an early lead and were never headed as they maintained their spot at the top of the Colts’ standings.

Not to be outdone, the Pirates’ Division 1 team recorded a 62-24 win over the Northwestern Predators to stay near the top of their own standings.

To this point of the season the Pirates are the only club in GNSW that has not tasted defeat in 2016 which in itself is an impressive statistic!

2016 Season – Week 3

Club, Pirates, Trojans

Sep 172016

The Pirates kept up their winning streaks with big wins over the Northern Sydney Rebels in Week 3 of the 2016 season.

The Pirates Colts had a big win against an undermanned but courageous Rebels team by 48-0. The win keeps the Pirates at the top of the Colts’ Standings

The Pirates Division 1 team followed that up with a mixed display but still managed a 46-6 win over their northern opponents.

Week 4 games see the Pirates Division 1 team take on the Newcastle Cobras while the Colts have a Bye.

2016 Season – Week 2

Club, Pirates, Trojans

Sep 112016

The Pirates got their 2016 campaigns underway in impressive style in Week 2 of the season. With Week 1 games being cancelled due to wet weather the games against Wollongong would be the Pirates’ first serious hit out and the first real chance to see how the teams had come together in the pre-season.

The Pirates Colts got the day off to a great start with a 32-12 win over the Wollongong Brumbies. The Pirates, fielding a team largely made up of rookies, started well and were never headed on the day.

The Pirates Division 1 team followed that up with an impressive 56-8 win over the Wollongong Mustangs. The Pirates scored from their first play from scrimmage and kept up the pressure throughout the game to record their win.

It was a great start by both teams but there is a long season ahead and still a lot of improvements to make.

Week 3 games see the Pirates take on the Northern Sydney Rebels.

2015 Colts Playoffs – Round 2

Trojans

Dec 122015

The West Sydney Pirates Colts season came to an end against the undefeated Sutherland Seahawks in the Playoff game at David Phillips Field.

The final score of 30-8 was not a true reflection of the game as the teams were close up until the closing stages of the game when the Seahawks’ larger squad proved to be the difference by helping them to score quick points to blow out the final margin.

Although they didn’t make the Championship Game the young Pirates can be proud of their efforts throughout what was a challenging and often difficult season.

Congratulations!

2015 Colts Playoffs – Round 1

Trojans

Dec 062015

The West Sydney Pirates Colts took a step closer to the 2015 Championship Game after an impressive win in the opening round of the Playoffs against UTS Gridiron.

Down 8-0 to UTS at the halftime break, the Pirates delivered in the second half and dominated the game to win by 24-8.

The Pirates now move on to the second round of the Playoffs where they take on reigning Champions, the Sutherland Seahawks.

2015 Season – Week 11

Pirates, Trojans

Nov 272015

The Pirates took on Wollongong in Week 11 of the 2015 season and it was two wins but for very different reasons.

The Pirates Colts won on a forfeit when the Wollongong Brumbies were unable to field a team.

The Pirates Division 1 team defeated a gutsy Wollongong Mustangs team by 60-18. The score is not a true reflection of the game though as the Pirates only showed flashes of what they are capable of achieving.

2015 Season – Week 8

Pirates, Trojans

Nov 022015

It was a mixed day for the West Sydney Pirates in Week 8 of the GNSW 2015 competition games played at the Pennant Hills Hockey Centre.

The Pirates’ Colts started the day and fought hard throughout but fell to the North Western Panthers by a score of 10-6.

In the final game of the day the Pirates’ Division 1 team faced an equally tough challenge against a very determined North Western Predators team.

The Predators got on top early and had much better field position and momentum in the first half, but the Pirates got on track in the second half and ran out winners by 28-12.

2015 Division 1 Season – Week 6

Pirates, Trojans

Oct 182015

The Pirates Colts and Division 1 teams both recorded big wins against their respective opponents in Week 6 of the 2015 season.

The Colts started proceedings with an impressive 54-12 win over the Wollongong Brumbies.

The win was the Colts second consecutive win and a real breakout performance, particularly by the Offense.

The Pirates’ Colts are now sitting third on the Standings as they move onto their Week 7 Bye.

Not to be outdone, the Division 1 team recorded back-to-back shutouts with a 60-0 win over the Newcastle Cobras.

Like their younger Club-mates the Division 1 team are also sitting third on the Standings.

In Week 7 the Pirates Division 1 team takes on the Central Coast Sharks.
