Winter Sports On Hitchcock Park In Pittwater

2023 METRO COMBINED OPEN AGE MENS GOLD League; 

Round 9 - Saturday June 17th 2023 at Hitchcock Park, Avalon Beach: Avalon Bulldogs Vs. Narrabeen Sharks - 14 all - a draw. 

This Game was played under lights with the littlies running out with the Avalon Bulldogs A-Grade team at the commencement of the match.

A large crowd gathered at Hitchcock Park, Careel Bay playing fields. There were a number of Newport Breakers players and supporters attending - some players are part of  both the Avalon Bulldogs and the Newport Breakers (Rugby Union) so there is a cross-code support of each other that occurs - unless they are playing a hybrid game against each other!

Two who work hard behind the scenes, Jazmin Ball of the Bulldogs and Cameron Greaves of the Newport Breakers, were comparing notes at half-time.

There is more to this Club than the 80 minutes of football each week though. Through the Grand Stand program the Bulldogs have committed to a Code-of-Conduct that sets the standards for players, coaches and officials. ''We believe that good men make better footballers!'' the club states
