00:00Hello and happy Friday. There's plenty happening in Illawarra sport this weekend. I'm Jordan
00:05Warren from the Illawarra Mercury. Joined as always on a Friday with my colleague Agron
00:09Latifi. Agron, there's plenty happening as always over the weekend. We're in the busy
00:13part of the winter sport. Tell me where you're at on Saturday. Obviously a massive Illawarra
00:17rugby league game. Massive game at Thomas Gibson Park in Thirril. The Butchers got back
00:23to form last week when they downed Dealer, the league leader, so they'll be looking to
00:28back it up against West, who were impressive against Dapto last week. So that should be
00:32a huge game. Yeah, and obviously Illawarra rugby as well, where you're at there. Shamrocks,
00:38Wurundjeri are playing against Tektars. Shamrocks got their second win of the season last week
00:44against Vikings. So yeah, so that should be a big game for both clubs. Both clubs have
00:48struggled this year, so it'll be interesting to see who wins that game. Yeah, I'm really
00:53excited in the round ball game. Obviously a massive fixture at Macedonia Park on Saturday
00:58night. Wollongong United against Cringella. It's a massive game for both clubs. They'll
01:01be looking to win to keep in that title fight. Also got to mention the Wolves as well. They're
01:06on Sunday at 3pm at Albert Butler, and they're on their finals hunt. Six games to go, and
01:11we should also mention the Group 7, mate. So a big game on Sunday as well. There's also
01:14a big game on Saturday between Jamburoo and Djeringong, but on Sunday Stingrays against
01:19Warrilla. Stingrays really need to win that game. Stingrays have struggled this year for...
01:23They've had a number of changes to their side, so they really need to win. Warrilla also
01:28will be looking to bounce back after losing to Shell Harbour last week, so that promises
01:32to be a huge game. Huge game. For sure, yeah, and of course the Shell Harbour Sharks and
01:36Djeringong Lions leading the way in the Group 7 comp this year so far, and we've got to
01:40mention the Steelers as well. They're at Collision Sports Complex on Sunday at 3pm. That's their
01:45second home game in as many weeks, so hopefully the Steelers can get back-to-back wins there.
01:49But yeah, head to the Illawarra Mercury website for all the latest news and updates across
01:53the weekend.
