Cardiff v new lambton

1sts 3-0 Cardiff
Thirds 2-0 Suburbs
Res 1-0 Suburbs
First 3-1 Suns
I think you are going to have to accept the fact that people refer to you guys as Suburbs. People may or may not realise that it's actually Garden Suburb. But when you are referring to you guys it just makes a little more sense to write Suburbs.
It's football, not s***er!!
I spent some time in the local history section at the library whist researching a property in Hamilton.
I stumbled on an article on the suburb.
(Some history here form LMCC)
https://history.lakemac.com.au/page-...ative&narid=42
There's a connection with the suburb and with that area down along Gordon Avenue
taking in the bus station down to Learmonth Park. The sandstone columns commemorating or marking
the original Garden Suburb are down at the Pk and are now on the corners of Gordon & Alexander + Gordon & Jenner.
(see Google Maps street view) For some reason (which is where my memory gets hazy) the columns were moved to this new area
from the Lake Macquarie locality.
I can't be sure from the article but I think when they were 1st relocated they both sat either side of Gordon Ave at the Nthn
end; either at Denison or at Tudor St before they were again moved to their current resting place at the Pk.
That's my recollection from reading it 10 or more years ago...
EDIT
After hawks post below, found this map date stamped - 4 Oct 1956!
Check out the bypass, gazetted even back then.

Dudley v Morrisett
1sts, 7-1
reserver, 8-0
3rds, 3-3
Dudley first grade 8 from 8. Looking like they may just pinch 1st place from Mayfield having results go their way.
Mayfield only need 1 win from their last 3 and its over
is the grand final confirmed for Adamstown oval on the sunday?
Yep- Sunday 11th at Adamstown Oval.
Why a Sunday, don't they know we have to work Monday
Still very interesting in all the grades:
Firsts:
Mayfield and Dudley can both still win Minor Premiership. (Mayfield would be expected to clinch it))
Suns, Cardiff, New Lambton, Swansea, Bero, Uni all still in with a shout of the final 2 semi finals spots. (Morisset can get the points but goal difference effectively knocks them out)
Reserve Grade
New Lambton, Dudley and Uni all still fighting for Minor premiership.
Mayfield, Cardiff, Swansea, Bero can all make the top 4. (Suns can get the points but goal difference effectively knocks them out)
Thirds
Uni, Dudley and New Lambton can all still get the points for the minor premiership. (Uni would be expected to clinch it)
Beresfield and Suns are the 2 teams in with a shot of the final semi final spot.
Suns can thank the 19 players from Garden Suburb who made up the Thirds/Res teams on Saturday, effectively ending their Thirds/Res hopes of making the finals.
Suns Reserves would be fuming, watching 4 players warm up, including a goal keeper, vs their 14 fresh. With Suburb scoring the winner with a minute to go.
We can't take much from this season for ourselves, but we'll certainly be looking to end peoples finals chances or form.
