The Blue Tongues opens teams solid start to the new season continued at Lapstone Oval with a 31-0 victory over Beecroft. While the score indicates a landslide the team had to really work, particularly after the first 20 in which the visitors camped themselves deep in the Blue Tongues half.
Outstanding defence and determination held them out and battered their confidence so much so that the tide eventually turned and there was no looking back. There were plenty to impress but none more than brilliant utility Tom Sargeant while Hamish Cullen, Corey Locke and Jarrod Cremona also made their presence felt.
Earlier in the day Tom Volkeine was a leading light as another team with a perfect start to the season, the Under 11s, steamrolled Killara West Pymble, setting the scene for a divisional promotion.
