Balmain AFC Masters

As we all contemplate our semi-final appearance, and say goodbye to a great friend and smashing full-forward, Goose.

Everyone who played and supported our team on the weekend should be so proud of the effort they put in. There was nothing left in the tank when the siren blew.

Sure, on reflection, you can say we should have done this or done that, but as someone who watched the game from the sidelines, there was absolutely nothing else that could have been done. So proud of the Masters and the way the game was played. Everyone fired, everyone put in 110%, and there were second and third efforts everywhere. But unfortunately, we were just pipped at the post.

That’s footy, and that’s why you turn up every week to play in such great games.

Masters Footy, Mountain Style 🏉⛰️

The BALMAIN MASTERS headed west this weekend for a social hit-out against the Blue Mountains Masters — and, as always, we were welcomed with open arms, plenty of laughs and an absolute ripper of a BBQ! 🍖🍻

The footy was quality, the competition was friendly, and there was plenty of talent on display. But, as cliché as it sounds, footy was definitely the winner. 💪

It was also a great day for our social and comp players to get together, enjoy a run around, catch up with old mates and, importantly, sample a few of the local breweries’ finest offerings. 🍺

Huge thanks to the Blue Mountains Masters for another fantastic day of footy, food and friendship. We’ll be back! 🏉❤️

Great game of footy against Manly Masters on the weekend! 💪⚽️

Plenty of moments, plenty of memories, and plenty to be proud of — from Bettsy’s 200th, to D-Train’s ridiculous 8-second goal, to Dippers’ fend-off moments that had everyone talking. 😂🔥

But that’s what this team is about: individual moments can win a game, but it’s the team that makes those moments count. Everyone plays their part, everyone backs each other, and when it matters, we find a way.

A great hit-out against Manly, but now the real business starts. The road to the Granny starts now. 🏆

Time to get serious. Time to dig deep. Time to finish what we started.

One team. One goal. Granny bound. 💙

Round 8 | Tigers vs Dingoes 🐯🏉

The Tigers headed down to the Shire this weekend to take on the Dingoes in what promised to be a tough contest, with the Fretwell Cup on the line. As expected, the Dingoes proved to be a quality opposition, and the match was a hard-fought contest played in the true spirit of Masters footy.

While the Tigers didn't come away with the win, there were plenty of positives to take from the game. Facing a club with years of finals experience provided valuable lessons, and the team will be better for the challenge. The effort, determination, and sportsmanship shown by both sides made for a great day of Masters football.

Round 8 | Tigers vs Dingoes 🐯🏉

The Tigers head down to the Shire this weekend to take on the Dingoes in what promises to be a tough contest.

With the Fretwell Cup on the line, both sides will be eager to put in a strong performance. The Dingoes are always competitive, so we know we're in for a hard-fought clash—but the Tigers are ready to bring the pressure and give it everything we've got.

Looking forward to another great game played in the true spirit of Masters footy.

📍 Location: Gwawley Oval

Get down and support the Tigers as we battle to retain the Fretwell Cup. See you on the field!

Played the Bats on the weekend in what was a great game of footy. The result wasn't what we were after, but taking on the reigning premiers is always a good benchmark to see where you stand. We showed we can match it with the best. A few small tweaks here and there, and we'll be even more competitive next time. Here is some shots of the hitout.

Join us at our home ground, Tigerland at Rozelle Parklands, for four great games of footy, kicking off from 10:00am!

Our Masters will be taking on the UTS Australian Football Club - The Bats in what promises to be a fiercely contested match.

It will also be a very special day for our club as President John "Smooth" Little runs out for his 200th game. Reaching 200 games is an outstanding achievement and a testament to his dedication, commitment and passion for the club. Congratulations, Smooth, on this incredible milestone!

Come down, support the teams, celebrate this fantastic achievement, and enjoy a great day of football!

The Tigers are heading out to the home of the Hornsby Berowra Eagles AFL Club, for a social game of footy.
Bounce: 12pm
Location: Rofe Park

This weekend we celebrated one of the club’s marquee events, the Pemulwuy Shield. The day honoured the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our beautiful ground stands and gave us the opportunity to reflect on the history of the place we’re privileged to call home.

There was some fantastic footy on display, but more importantly, the weekend strengthened friendships through fun, respect and sportsmanship.

A huge shoutout to our committee and the entire Tigers community for the incredible effort that goes into making Pemulwuy such a success. From unveiling our special Indigenous jersey to managing the countless logistics behind the scenes, so many people gave their time and energy to make the day possible.

Thank you to everyone who arrived early to set up, volunteered throughout the day, coached, supported, lent a hand when it was needed, and quietly solved problems so the rest of us never knew they existed.

Community isn't just a word—it's something we build together. To everyone who helped make this weekend so special, thank you.

The Tigers have their marquee round this week, hosting the Indigenous Round and playing for the Pemulwuy Shield.

There will be three games of footy, kicking off from 10:00 am.

At 1:20 pm, there will be an Acknowledgement of Country, followed by the Pemulwuy Shield presentation by Daniel Bourke.

Our masters team will be playing there mates from the mountains (Blue Mountains Kangaroos/Mountain Lions JAFL Club), at 3.20pm.
