Pathways Preview: 28/03/25

Manly’s Harold Matthews team remains well in the hunt for a place in the top-6 finals series heading into this weekend’s penultimate round.

After four wins and two losses the Sea Eagles U/17s are seventh on the ladder on 10 competition points, with the three teams from fourth to sixth also on 10 points.

The Dragons are out of finals contention and coming off a narrow loss to the Steelers last weekend.

SG Ball Cup

Our SG Ball team is ready for another challenge on Sunday when they take on the Wests Magpies.

This match was scheduled to be played at Narrabeen but has been shifted to Seddon Park, Glenfield (1pm).

It’s been a tough slog for the U19s, without a win since their opening-round victory over the Warriors. The Magpies are coming off a narrow loss to the Eels, who are unbeaten this season.

Lisa Fiaola Cup

This game has been moved to Sunday. It will now be played at Ted Doyle Oval, Glenning Valley with a 12:00pm kick off.

Our U17s will now play this game against the high-flying Central Coast Roosters on Sunday.

This match was originally scheduled to be played at Narrabeen but has since been relocated.

Although still hunting for their first win of the season this team continues to show fight and determination, suffering three very close losses in its six games so far.

The CC Rooster have won five from six games and sit second on the ladder.

Tarsha Gale Cup

This game has also been moved to Sunday and will also be played at Ted Doyle Oval, Glenning Valley. Kick off is 1:30pm.

The Sea Eagles U/19s have shown steady progress over recent weeks, a 22-12 loss to the Steelers last weekend followed a 14-14 draw with the Bears.

Another tough match awaits against the Roosters at Mascot Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Like the U/17s, this match will now also be played at Mason and not Narrabeen.

Jersey Flegg Cup

The first of three games at 4 Pines Park on Sunday will see the Sea Eagles U/21s take on the Paramatta Eels.

The Anthony Watmough-coached Flegg team suffered its first loss last weekend, heavily beaten by the Raiders after wins over the Rabbitohs and Warriors.

The Eels have also won two from three, including last weekend’s 20-12 victory over the Bulldogs.

NSW Cup

Manly picked up its first win of the season last weekend, defeating the Raiders 28-26 at 4 Pines Park, thanks to a 78th-minute Brandon Wakeham penalty goal.

The Eels have enjoyed back-to-back wins over the Magpies and Bulldogs after having the bye in Round 1.
