25.01.2022 TIME FOR THE BIG KIDS!!! Our babies enjoyed their time in the mud yesterday; now its time for the Kids. Look at those happy faces of our under 5s. Today we have 4 games down at Smith from 1100am; including our Open Ladies League Tag, kicking off at 200pm and our Under 23s from 310pm. ... REMINDER: We welcome spectators to Smith Park today; we just ask for you to follow some now very familiar new normals: social distancing hand hygiene And of course, if you arent feeling flash, maybe give this week a miss and we will see you next time. The BBQ will be cranking - when you buy lunch, clean your hands with the hand sanitiser available. The canteen/bar will be open - when you buy some red frogs or a beer, you clean your hands! Also, we require all visitors to sign in using our QR code system. Follow the signage at the ground and lets check everyone safe. We look forward to seeing you at Smith today, just from a distance.

25.01.2022 ANOTHER PLATINUM SPONSOR!!!

12.01.2022 THANKS TO OUR NEW SLEEVE SPONSOR AND THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS!!! A huge thank you to Smart Choice Mechanical, who after just a year of sponsorship with the Club, have agreed to extend to a sleeve sponsors status for 2021. This is not only a great success story for the Club, but also for Smart Choice. Smart Choice, located in the centre of East Hills, came to the Club after the end of the 2020 season asking how they can better support the Club in 2021. This came on the back of... the support they have received from our magnificent members and supporters in their first year of sponsorship. This outcome is success for both the Club and Smart Choice. Smart Choice, just opposite one of our Major Sponsors, East Hills Hotel, can look after all your motor vehicle mechanical needs, including servicing and tyres. Booking can be made by calling 9772 3241 or by dropping by and seeing Michael and his team. Thanks to Michael and the team at Smart Choice for your ongoing and generous support. And thank you to our members and supporters that got behind one of ours. This result is your result - but the big winners are our little (and big) champions that run out in their fresh kit for the Originals in season 2021.

12.01.2022 GAME DETAILS!!! Good luck to all our teams this weekend. NOTE: 4 games of Footy at Smith this Sunday from 1100am!

11.01.2022 Weekend Update With the weather good and the grounds dry, we dont have to worry about game, time and venue changes - all games per published schedules. However..., we do need to worry about the NSW Government Covid guidelines that we need to follow for rugby league to continue for the rest of the season. It is a requirement that we limit spectators to one parent only where a child requires parental supervision during a sporting activity. All clubs have Covid procedures in place for training and game day AND have worked extremely hard to get the season up and running. We realise this may be inconvenient BUT the alternative is our footy finishes early. No one wants that so please follow the Covid rules. Your co-operation will be appreciated by all, especially the players! This is for information, please do not post questions, comments etc. Weve heard them all, just follow the rules! THANK YOU.

10.01.2022 A FULL BOAT AT SMITH PARK!!! Great to see all games at Smith Park on Saturday having an East Hills team in it. PLEASE REMEMBER - We still love you; its not us, it is "the Rona". We would love to see you at Smith on Saturday to cheer on ALL our Junior teams, but remember: ... Please keep your distance; The BBQ and canteen will be open, remember to use the hand sanitiser available each time visit; Please bring your little champions ready to rock, play their game, grab them a bite and a drink and make room for the next little champions; and If you or your little champion arent feeling , give this week a miss and we will see you next week! Dont forget about our two Senior Teams, please follow the hosting teams COVID plan. Game details attached.

04.01.2022 13 - LUCKY FOR SOME!!! What a start! Meet little Austin Guthrie (without the head gear) a new player and family, to East Hills Bulldogs. Austin enjoyed his first weekend of footy today, playing for the under 5s and filling in for the under 6s. ... At the end of the games Austin needed the support of his little brother to show us how many tries he scored across both games, 13! Surely thats a record!!! Big brother Benny also crossed the try line for the under 7 a couple of times! The Guthrie family come from #Westside of the river - which shows you dont only need a #2213 postcode to play for the Original Bulldogs. Well done Benny and Austin and welcome Guthrie family!

Meet Bailey (on the left) and Dylan (on the right with the broken arm) - the Original Bulldogs under 12s twins - the Anderson Twins. ... These boys, along with their coach and father Steven Anderson, and their manager and mum Cherie Anderson Pink are just people you want around the Club - just gems. The Anderson twins, although small in stature; but so big in heart - and knowing their Mum and Dad, we know where that comes from. This year, the Anderson Twins celebrated their 100 games with the Club. It’s pretty cool to play 100 games for your Club, but even cooler when you do it with the one kid that has literally been next to you since before birth.

02.01.2022 ONE NAME, ONE CLUB - 60 YEARS!!! Meet William Brown (Billy), the old bloke in the cap. Now in his 80’s, to the best he can remember, Billy first played for East Hills in the late 50’s. He can’t remember exactly what year he started, but an old photo on the wall of the Smith Park Clubhouse reminded him of 1958. In 1958, having returned to pre season late Billy missed out on making the B Grade team. The team was already chosen. He, like a number of others, had returned followi...ng National Service, so many in fact, that East Hills decided to enter a second team in the B Grade competition. Billy’s team ended losing the Grand Final to the team from the photo on the Smith Park wall (attached). Yes, an East Hills vs East Hills grand final! Billy’s claims his team lost as he missed the Grand Final with pneumonia - we aren’t so sure. This year, over 60 years later, Billy’s grandson, also William Brown (Wil) played his 100th game for East Hills Bulldogs. Wil likes to remind his Grandfather that he played his 100th game the year of a pandemic, so maybe playing that grand final with pneumonia wasn’t that hard. Well done Wil on your 100 games for the Originals and good to see you dragging your old Pop down to watch most of them. #afamilyaffair #thatsfamily

02.01.2022 GOOD LUCK TO A COUPLE OF ORIGINAL BULLDOGS CHAMPIONS!!! Good Luck to Mitchell Gray and Bradley Cousins, playing for Ryde Eastwood Hawks RLFC in the Sydney Shield Grand Final at BankWest Stadium today at 1100am. Both Mitch and Brad, who both played Juniors for East Hills, are going for #back2back Grand Final wins, with their Ryde-Eastwood team mates - but they have never forgotten where they come from. ... With their great mate, Tristan Evans-Tsoi (pictured below with Brad and Mitch) and with assistance from Trey Parker, the boys have spending their time when they aren’t training with Ryde, training our junior teams (mainly our 13s) to give them specific halves, dummy halves and forwards training. We don’t just call them East Hills Bulldogs Champions because of the trophy cabinet they have filled for us with Grand Final wins; it’s the time they are giving back to their Club with our juniors that makes them the real winners. Your East Hills Bulldogs family will be cheering you gents. Get it done!
