Hi Everyone please register your details here if you are interested in playing Senior State Cup which is in Port Macquarie 2,3,4 December 2016

This information will provide the Carlingford Club contact details so we can send you information and details about the competition and training.

We are looking at new Uniforms this year – which is a year earlier then planned – so it will come down to player team vote – if the wish to take them or not – new players will of course need Uniforms which are generally used for  3 years. We have a limited supply of the old uniform.

Commitment includes 2 days a week of training which are normally on a Tuesday Night and on Sunday Morning or Afternoon.

Each team has 14 players – so if we have more interest then 14 players then Trials will be conducted.

We are expecting to take 2 Womens, 1 Mens, 1 Senior Mixed and 1 50’s Team – we may look at Mixed team depending on numbers.

Three of the Four Cyclone Teams have made the Championship elimination finals.

Mens Division 2

The Men’s Division 2 Team have come second after the round games and wait for the highest Ranked winner of the Eliminations Finals – If all goes to plan that will be most likely Wests – who Cyclones have met in the First round and beat 7-4. A lot has happened since then so it promises to be a good game.

Womens Division 1

Then Womens Division 1 Team have made it to Sixth position. It was not looking good after losing last Friday game to Campbelltown who was fighting for that 6th Spot. Campbelltown with a Superior For and Against was beating Cyclones to that Sixth position and with both teams expected to win their remaining games Cyclones was looking at overcoming a 9 Try Difference. Knowing this girls were looking for 10 Nil win from each game to overcome that difference.

First Game was 7-1 against UNSW who in the first round we beat 3-0 – it was a good start gaining a 6 point try difference. We knew in the second game we had to do better – news came through however that Campbelltown had Lost to North UTS – which meant all we had to do was win the next game – Despite this we went out and won 7-2 providing a total goal difference for the day of 11. Great Day for Division 1

Division 1 now meet Easts in the Elimination Final where last they meet East beat Cyclones 2-10

It was that game that turned the season around for the Cyclones – and Cyclones are planning to turn the result around also.

Womens Division 2

The Drama for Division 2 was even more Dramatic as they entered the round in 7th Position and one win behind 6th place. Division 2 had to win Both Games and Varsity had to lose both games for Division 2 to get that 6th Position.

As it happened Cyclones won their first game and Varsity lost their first game which set up the Round 12 Game against Varsity where the winner advances through to the Championship Elimination Final. Last time these teams Played Varsity won 1 -0 on the bell.

Cyclones won the Game 7-5 and took that 6th Position and became the third cyclone Team to make the elimination final for their division

Division 2 will now meet Wests who in their Last Clash Cyclones Lost 1-6 – but this is a different day and a different Team.

As the Rain and wind rolled into Port Macquarie so did the Junior Cyclones Teams Under 14 Boys – Under 14 Girls – Under 16 Girls – Under 18 Girls

We had wins, we had losses, their were games that defined us and games we would like to forget but the Teams, players , parents and spectators set an example of how a Club should be.

Win, Loss or Draw, we did it together and we did it enjoying the game we love. The Rain could not wash our enthusiasm away and the mud could not cover up our smiles, thunder could not drown out our laughter. It may have been raining out side but the sun was shining in the Cyclones Tent.

Thank you to everyone who represented the Cyclones with Pride – “Play it because you love it

The 14 Boys playing their special kind of touch started off in controversial game with Manly where the score was 5-4  – Referees rated as 4-4 – Manly had 4-4 as they complained about a Try with 7 players on the field and with this the campaign began.

The boys did great with two wins 1 Draw and 3 losses – with most games having a one or two try difference. Played some great Touch and should be proud of thier first effort in the Cyclones Colours

Their Results are below

Under 14 Girls consisted of a lot of new Girls and some experience ones. They started off a bit shaky playing the power house team of Nelson Bay, but as the Tournament went along improved with every game and was coming home stronger and stronger.

The Girls results are below with 1 Win – 3 Losses – 1 Draw

Under 16 Girls had one of the toughest Draws I have ever seen in State Cup, but they approached each game giving every they had in every game and competed to the end.

With each game came a new confidence and determination.. their defining moment was the attitude and commitment they put in to against Parramatta. The result did not go their way but it did define what they could do as a team.

Under 18 Girls started their campaign off with a Win. The sad thing about the 18’s is that is the oldest age group of the Juniors which many some of the payers will not be able to play next year-however in this team we had many young players and a lot of the will be able to play – seeing some of the talent we had in this years team and some of the players that will come up from 16’s its looking good.

The U18 was competitive in every game and showed what they could do when they have confidence in themselves (Game against Balmain). They had many great individual performances and should be proud of the way they played and the attitude they took into every game.
