🖤❤️💛 OLD TIMERS DAY 2025 💛❤️🖤
It’s that time again — time to round up the old crew, reconnect with past team mates, share a few yarns, and enjoy the good vibes at the club we all love.

Join us on Friday 25 April as we celebrate Old Timers Day at United. The clubrooms open from midday, and everyone’s welcome to come down early for a feed and catch-up before the action kicks off on the field.

This year, we’re raising a glass to one of the greats — Nicky, who would’ve been front and centre for this day. In his honour, there will be a happy hour pricing on DB Draught!. 🍻

🎉 Whether you wore the jersey, cheered from the sideline, or just love a good day at the footy — this one’s for you.

Game Day Fixtures vs NPOB:
🏉 Division One – 1:00pm kickoff
🏉 Premiers – 2:45pm kickoff

Lock it in, spread the word, and we’ll see you there.

PREMIERS
Unfortunately, the boys weren’t able to capitalise on the strong wind advantage in the first half, playing at the wrong end of the field and struggling to maintain possession. Coastal took full advantage of this, scoring some impressive individual tries and asserting themselves at the breakdown. Credit to them – they rolled their sleeves up and outworked us in key moments.

Despite the tough start, the second half showed promising signs. Playing into the wind, we dominated territory and lifted our physicality on both sides of the ball. Our carries were more direct and aggressive, and we were rewarded with a couple of well-constructed tries through improved attacking shape and execution.

There were definitely some positives to take from the match – great to see Jacob Ince and Ethan Reti make their return from injury, and a huge congratulations to some of our younger players who earned their Premier debut starts over the weekend. With more game time and growing confidence, they’ll only get better.

Time to regroup, refocus, and prepare for a massive clash this Friday against Old Boys.
