CARINGBAH INN PROUDLY SPONSORING THE SUTHERLAND SEAHAWKS.

The Caringbah Inn has a sponsorship history that goes a long way back to the earlier origins of the Sutherland Seahawks Gridiron club.

This relationship has been renewed and it is coming at a great time for the club as the Senior team enters the Long Weekend bye week at 5-0 for 2014, the Colts team wrapped up an undefeated 2014 season earlier this year with a record 7th Colts Championship, and the club's new Junior 5 a side competition is about to start next week.

100 career games: Aaron Beyer

In a sport in Australia that often attracts players later in life, and is difficult to be consistent in, playing 100 career games is rare.

In Saturday's win over the Bondi Raiders, Seahawks receiver Aaron Beyer notched up his 100th career game.



Beyer started football in the Seahawks Colts team in 2007 and has been a part of the offense focus at the club since that time.

Adding in coaching stints for the Colts team, as well as State and National team games, Aaron has seen just about every angle of the club and the sport. He had his highest number of TD's in 2013 with 13, and came close to breaking his club record in receptions with 62, just short of his 67 in 2010.

He holds the club record for receptions in a career and season and yards from scrimmage, shortly to go over 5000 yards combined.

For his career, Aaron's stats are as follows:

Games: 100 (43 wins-54 losses -3 draws)
Receptions: 319
Yards receiving: 4459 yards
Rushing attempts: 66
Rushing yards: 504
Total touchdowns: 56 (48 receiving, 7 Rushing, 1 INT Return)
Tackles: 32
Sacks: 1
Forced Fumbles: 1
Fumble Recoveries: 1
Pass Break Ups: 2
Interceptions: 5

SEAHAWKS AVENGE RAIDERS IN ROUND 5

Avenging the 23-20 Charity Bowl loss from the preseason, the Sutherland Seahawks got out to a 26-7 halftime lead before icing the game 32-15 over the Bondi Raiders.



The Seahawk offence had 16 first downs in the first half, a club record, but were inconsistent on 2 point PAT conversions. Again the ball was spread around, 8 receivers catching balls, the versatile James Cosgrove having a career high 8 receptions operating out of the slot, and 2 TD. Tristan Whiting had his 5th TD in 2 games but turnovers thwarted the offence from scoring even more, Bondi making several half time adjustments to their defence.








The Sehawk defence was excellent in the first half in particular with the exception of allowing a kickoff return TD. The Raiders managed 43 yards on the ground, half of that coming on one play. The Raiders were kept under 100 yard passing and completed only 25% of their passes, Terry Chi finishing with 4 pass break ups.

Brendon Apperley enjoyed his move over to the defensive side of the ball, claiming 2 sacks and a safety, really adding some speed to a banged up defensive line position. The 5 total sacks were a season best for 2014.

Next week the Seahawks will travel to Newcastle to play the Central Coast Sharks, a team and trip that has been extremely hazardous over the past 3 years.

SEAHAWKS RACK UP RECORDS DEFEATING THE NORTHWEST SYDNEY PREDATORS.

In a game that presented it self as a major hurdle and reference point to how the 2014 season would shape up, finished with several records being broken and one of the best games for the Seahawks in many seasons.



Last year the Predators had two very convincing wins over the Seahawks on their way to the 2013 Championship game. This was a team the Seahawks had to beat to reach the playoffs.

Both teams traded 3 scoring drives a piece; Ned Stelzer, Tristan Whiting and Aaron Beyer finding the endzone for the Seahawks and it required the defense to step up to make a play. Rookie cornerback Nathan Storey started the catalyst for the tipping point for the Seahawks victory. The first of his 3 interceptions changed the mood of the game and vastly tilting things in the Seahawks favour.

Amazingly, 3 straight Predator possessions ended with Storey picking off a pass, the Seahawks offense capitalizing on each with a touchdown. The next Predators possession was returned for a punt return touchdown, Nick Anapolsky capped off a record day for him, throwing an amazing 8 touchdown passes and having a punt return score as well.

In all 7 different players scored a touchdown for the Seahawks and the team had a record 615 yards from scrimmage. 12 touchdowns was also a club record as was the total points of 80, a record that has stood since 2000.


SEAHAWKS 80, PREDATORS 34.
