As a player and last seasons 1st grade coach at Raymond Terrace Sundays excuse for a reserve grade performance does not need describing. Least to say that is the most embarrassed I have been in 32 yrs of playing football.
As for the bagging terrace band wagon that seem to be developing, yes we know we are light on depth to have a res grade team pushing for finals. We know we only have a skinney 1st grade squad of 14-16 players capable of performing in 1sts and two of that 16 are 38 and 40 yrs old. Hence the weekend we have players away and suspended and all of a sudden we lose the experienced spine of res to first grade. This was a situation we thought of before accepting promotion, and the idea was if we have the numbers jump in both feet and either sink or swim so why not give it a go.
As for promotion on club champ pts, this would have put Jesmond into lg1 this season from lge 2 last yr if I remember correctly, and there 1st grade did not make the finals. But they were the only team NOT to lose to the terrace.

On a final note Terrace 1st grade is 7 from 7 21pts top of the table and they only train ONCE A WEEK not a bad effort.
