Local footy teams had a weekend to forget, with only the Camden Cats celebrating after their victory in the Sydney AFL Premier competition.
Camden comprehensively defeated Western Suburbs Magpies 12.14-86 to 4.11-35.
Playing away from home at Picken Oval, the Cats kicked six goals in the first quarter to set up their fourth victory of the season.
The Cats return home on Saturday, June 16 – there’s a bye for all teams on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend – when they host third placed Manly Warringah Wolves at Fairfax Reserve, Camden from 2.30pm in what should be a tough but entertaining AFL encounter.

In football, the Macarthur Rams have suffered another defeat, this time a 2-1 loss at home to Blacktown Spartans in round 14 of the NPL men’s 2 premiership.
The loss means the second last placed Spartans have put a five point buffer between themselves and the Rams, who have won two games and drawn two so far this season and look set to pick up the wooden spoon in 2018.
This weekend Macarthur are away to competition leaders Mt Druitt.
