North Sydney Bears

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (18:43:13):

I acknowledge the outstanding efforts of the North Sydney Bears and stand in this place proudly representing the club's colours. The Bears showcased their resilience in a hard-fought preliminary final at Leichhardt Oval over the weekend and lived up to their status as minor premiers by securing their spot in the upcoming Knock-On Effect NSW Cup grand final. The Bears gave an electrifying performance that had the crowd at Leichhardt in awe after a commanding display in the first half that saw the Bears secure a solid 18-0 lead courtesy of three unanswered tries. Not willing to surrender easily, the Warriors struck back in the second half, narrowing the score to 18-12 after scoring two converted tries. Ultimately, the Bears prevailed, extending their lead to 24-12 and securing their place in the upcoming grand final.

Mr Jihad Dib:

Woo hoo!

Ms FELICITY WILSON:

I am glad that the member for Lakemba is also a fan. I wish the Bears all the very best as they take on the Bunnies on Sunday afternoon at CommBank Stadium—a wonderful stadium delivered by the former Liberal Government. I wish them good luck. Go, the Bears! Bring back the Bears.
