00:00Hello Fanatic Illawarra sports fans. Hello Jordan Warren here with my
00:04colleague Agron Latifi from the Illawarra Mercury sport team. There's
00:07plenty of sport happening this weekend. We've got to start with the Dragons
00:10Goni. They're back after a bye. Will we see their origin stars back on Sunday
00:14against the Dolphins in Cogra? I imagine we'll see two of them Ben Hunt and
00:17James Seward but I'd be very surprised if Zach Lomax plays. Everyone saw him
00:23limping off. He had a great game obviously for the Blues. So that's the
00:28question. I imagine two of them will play. It's a big game for the Dragons.
00:33They're welcoming Wayne Bennett's Dolphins at Cogra so Dragons had a last
00:38start loss to the Seagulls so they definitely need a win. Yeah it's a big game for the
00:43Dragons. Of course they've got three really crucial games before their next
00:45bye so a massively important game for Shane Flanagan's team. Of
00:49course there's a lot of local sport that we'll be also covering. Groning on
00:52Saturday you've got a couple of codes that you'll be covering. Where are you at?
00:55I'll be at Dapto Showground. I'll be watching Dapto v West. It's the old boys
01:01day for Dapto for the Canaries and they'll also be celebrating their 30th
01:05anniversary of the 1994 Premiership win for first grade and reserve grade so it
01:11should be a big day. Both teams are coming off last start wins so
01:16it should be a big game. Also Illawarra Rugby and Group 7 sort of talking
01:20through those massive games. Yeah Illawarra Rugby for the first time
01:24this season there'll be four games this weekend which is good for
01:28the code. I think the biggest game is probably Campbelltown v Sheolhaven.
01:33They're the top four teams and obviously everyone knows Sheolhaven has won
01:3831 in a row now so that's probably the pick of the games and with
01:43Group 7 there's a few good games. On Saturday Gerringong are taking on
01:49Stingrays. Stingrays desperately need a win after having a pretty big loss to
01:55the Sharks last week. Gerringong obviously, their rating premieres are doing really well and
02:01then on Sunday there's a big game in Albury Park when the Eagles take on
02:05Nowra. And of course there's a special night for a legend in women's AFL in the
02:10region Kat Gow. Talk me through her milestone recently. Yes so she'll bring
02:15up her 200th game for Victory Saints on Saturday and when they play
02:18Kyma, Kyma Power. So yeah get down to Victory over to watch that.
02:24She's been a legend for the Saints when they played in the Sydney
02:28comp and now they play in the South Coast comp. Yeah well said mate and of
02:32course there's a lot of round ball action. The IPL on Saturday is a massive
02:36game, a grand final rematch. Coniston against Cringilla. It's also Heritage
02:40Day for Coniston so get down there at JJ Kelly Park Saturday 3 p.m. at that
02:44ground. Of course the Wolves are still on their finals hunt. They're away to the
02:47Wanderers on Saturday night 7 p.m. They're about four points outside the
02:51final spot so it's a really important game. Of course the Wolves have had five
02:54games unbeaten and they're on a really really good run and there's plenty more
02:57sport. Head to illawarramercury.com.au for all the latest updates.
