Junior Sports Activities
The rosters for the season are available on Dribl. Typically we publish these one week before season commences. Please check out our Facebook page for the latest news on when these will be available and how to access.
It’s hard to believe it’s June with this type of weather!
Today we got to see Edgeworth for the first time, in at least a decade, maybe more, decked out in nets.
A huge thank you to Emily and Phil at Richmond again for taking on this job. Thank you also to the ESS parents who helped them at the end of day, this was much appreciated.
For these to stay up though, we are all going to have to pull up our socks and maintain more of a watchful eye over our young players and their siblings.
It didn’t take long for many to be sagging and partially pulled down. So coaches and parents, please make sure to keep the kids off, and out of, the nets.
We will work on some more secure bindings, but nothing is damage-proof unless we work together to make sure they are only used for the purpose they were intended for.
Round 5 now complete, please enjoy some shots of the day.
Cambridge Dog Park Opens!
In fantastic news for us dog owners, we have another park where we can exercise our furry family members!
We do however need to remember the rules around sports grounds, which are unchanged.
We would ask coaches to remember their duty of care and be particularly vigilant. General members of the public not associated with ERJSA may be utilising the area in an increased capacity and they may not be aware of the rules. So if needed, please stop play to gently ask those with dogs to leave the grassed areas if they enter.
Given the newness of this park, council Rangers will have an increased presence at Cambridge for the next few weeks, so please be mindful of the following:
--> Please keep pathways / access points clear to allow for dog park users to move through the space at the back of our grounds quickly.
--> Dogs must remain on lead when moving through the space to access the dog park but not cover any of the sports ground surfaces.
--> Dogs must always be under control in the dog park. People should never leave dogs unattended in the dog park.
--> Although it’s a lovely green space, the dog park does not double as a playground. Children / spectators cannot use the dog park for games etc.

The final rounds of the rosters are now live!
If you have any queries, your club is your first point of contact.
This is a collaborative approach with all the clubs having already received and reviewed the draft, so they are best placed to provide you support if needed.
Thank you so much to Aaron and Ava for all the work they have put in this year!

After this week’s rain, what a still balmy Friday night and beautiful day today to be out and about on the eastern shore.
While a little heavy in some parts, every ground that ERJSA plays on came up trumps today. It's a credit to the work put in by the grounds teams at the City of Clarence and Programmed. Thank you all so much for your amazing work!
Next week the grounds will get a rest as we don’t play on the King's Birthday long weekend and with the student free day on Friday, it's time to head off for a little break!
We hope you all had a good round and please enjoy some shots from today.
Annnd…apologies to the New Norfolk Panthers team that a certain old man may have referred to as the Eastern Shore Saints today….he’s getting on in years and the colours confused him for a moment or two 😜
