 | Sports: Manly Dragons - Winners are Grinners |
 Can we splash or can we paddle?
Well we must be doing something
right because our performance at
the Te Waka regatta hosted at Varsity
Lakes on Sunday 19 August
proved that we can paddle and paddle
fast! Competing in the mixed
masters event we had a full compliment
of 20 paddlers and Joe as
sweep. The boats were loaded from
the beach behind the finish line and
it was a 700m paddle to the start line
at the other end of the lake.
The
500m course laid with a few buoys
looked very long. Much longer in
fact than the equivalent 500m in the
Manly boat harbour. Heat one for
the day we were in lane 3, racing
against Redcliffe Dragons and Redlands.
Our strict orders were to focus only
on our boat and listen to the sweep
for instructions. As we maneuvered
into position on the start line the
marshall gave the signal and we
were off, catching a few paddlers by
surprise. Our start was good and
fast and so was the pace for the rest
of the race. Lots of grunting and
heaving as we reached the 400m
mark but still had to keep going for
another 100m—it was a long way.
Unknown to us on the boat (cos we
were all focused) we were first over
the line by a dragon’s head.

| Sports: Bayside United Promoted to Premier Div 2 |
  Bayside United won promotion to Premier Division 2 when they overcame Annerley 4-3 over the 2 legs of the promotion play offs.
Having won the home leg 2-0, Bayside went into the game at Annerley knowing that any away goals would likely put the result out of the reach of their opponents.
On a very poor playing surface, Bayside and Annerley struggled to play any fluent football.
The first half saw Annerley force a succession of corners but Bayside defended well throughout the first half and should have taken a half time lead when a fine cross from Matthew Leworthy was met on the volley by Alex Borg only for the Annerley keeper to make a fantastic finger tip save.
Bayside started the second half the stronger and finally broke the deadlock when Gavin Burdett turned home a cross from Anthony LaRosa. This goal meant the Annerley would need to score 4 times to win the game.
Annerley equalised on the day after a good move, but Bayside responded again and Babou Faye smashed home the second for Bayside to put the result out of reach of the battling Annerley side. With 5 minutes to go Annerley scored their second goal and in injury time a long range effort gave them a 3-2 win on the day but Bayside were already celebrating the promotion.
A very proud coach Mark Tuck paid tribute to the the players and their outstanding efforts for what has been an incredible season to date.
Achieving promotion was the main goal we set at the start of the season. To gain promotion from the Metro Division 1 to the premier leagues is a tough assignment. You have to win the league and then win a 2 legged play off against the bottom side in the league above.
Having come so close last year and having to do it all again was a massive task. But we strengthened the side again this year and we have won the Metro Division 1 title, the Metro cup and now promotion.

| Sports: Bayside United Win Metro Cup Final |
Bayside United won their first Metro Cup by beating Souths United 2-1 on Sunday at Perry Park.
In front of a good sized and noisy crowd made up almost entirely of Bayside supporters Bayside started nervously and struggled to play their usual attacking football.
Babou Faye thought he had given Bayside the lead when he turned home a cross from Gavin Burdette only to be ruled off side and Anthony La Rosa had a long range effort saved by the Souths keeper as Bayside dominated possession on a poor playing surface.Poor defending lead to a rare Souths attack and Shaun Webster brought down a Souths striker and the referee awarded the penalty. Ervil Krepi scored from the spot to give Souths the lead.
Bayside lifted and a good move set Chris Griffin free down the left and his pin point cross found LaRosa who scored from close range to level the scores.
The second half continued as the first finished with Bayside dominating possession and with most of the play in Souths half.
Bayside missed a number of chances, with La Rosa, Burdette, Faye and Alex Borg all going close or bringing out good saves from the keeper.
Finally on the hour Bayside went ahead with a great header from Babou Faye found the net from Chris Griffin's well taken corner.
Soon after Faye almost scored again but this time his header was cleared off the line. Bayside continued to dominate and should have increased their lead but were never troubled by Souths who had their one and only shot on target from free play in the 87th minute. The final whistle was met with a massive cheer from the 200 or so Bayside supporters who made plenty of noise all afternoon.
A very proud Bayside coach, Mark Tuck said, we didn't play as well as we can but we dominated the game, created numerous chances and in the end got what we deserved. A great day for the Bayside Club, and all of the officials who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

| Sports: Starting Young |
 At only 12 years old, Maxime of New Caledonia is steadily conquering the sailing scene. His most recent triumph was the Australian championships held last week at our very own foreshore.
Maxime was one of 44 entrants of 4 different countries to participate in the optimist class race sponsored by Wallace Bishop. Struggling against difficult weather at a light and shifty 15 knots, the young sailors were certainly put to the test.
Maxime has been sailing for the past four to five years and this is not the first victory for the talented sportsman. His last success was to take home the cup of the New Zealand championship. He was also awarded 5th place in France, being the youngest entrant and against 103 of France's best optimist sailors.
Maxime travels often, accompanied by his very supportive parents, and will next be moving on to New Zealand for further training and races. We wish him the best of luck in his sailing pursuits.

Queensland scored, quickly followed by a New Zealand goal which was disallowed with Queensland sealing the game with a second goal in the last minutes of the game. The final score was 2 - 0.
