Sydney University need to put St George Dragons to the sword at Olds Park this Saturday to set themselves up for a shot at the minor premiership in the Sydney AFL Premier Division competition.

Sydney University kept their tilt at the minor premiership alive on Saturday with a 99-55 win over Inner West Magpies, setting themselves up for the Saints, followed by home games against competition leaders UNSW Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs on 10 August and third-placed Pennant Hills Demons on 17 August to round out the season proper.

Table toppers UNSW Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs are on 56 points, having dropped just one game in 15 rounds – to North Shore Bombers in Round 3 – with Sydney University (52), Pennant Hills Demons (36), East Coast Eagles (36), and Inner West Magpies (24) making up the top six.

Sydney University disposed of the seventh-placed Dragons 131-42 in the opening round of the season, so a repeat is in order setting them up for a revenge match against the Bulldogs the following weekend.

Their Round 5 tussle went down to the wire, with the Bulldogs getting home 65-63; having kicked 10-5 to University’s 9-9.

Damien Bonney, Samuel Gilfedder and Jack Fox each kicked three goals in Saturday’s 15.9: 99 to 7.14: 55 win over Inner West Magpies.

Meanwhile, Sydney University moved into sixth place on the NEAFL ladder with a hard-fought 97-90 win over Aspley at Voxson Oval, Brisbane, on Saturday.

Josh Stern led the way with six goals for Sydney University as they ended a hot streak by the Hornets.

Sydney University coach Tom Morrison was very happy with the performance.

“We’ve worked really hard at a couple of elements of our game and turned those elements around from a season standpoint,” he told Ben Hunter.

“It’s hard to beat Aspley here, they’re obviously the form side of the competition bar Brisbane, so we knew what we were up against.”

“Players just playing our style of play; showing improvement across those six weeks; the effort was just there today.”

Sydney University can consolidate with a third win in a row when they host the Canberra Demons this Saturday.
