Shute Shield: Randwick draw on the ‘Power of Four’ as they reach for the heights

By MARK CASHMAN

A lot of things go into making a successful footy club. Stuff like sound administration, knowledgable coaching that engages the playing group, a first rate S&C program and of course having the “good cattle” capable of making it all happen under pressure.

But Randwick, who head into Round Eight of the Shute Shield this weekend with six wins from their seven outings so far and sitting second on the competition ladder, may well have stumbled onto a magic elixir brewed in the deep south of the South Island of New Zealand.

Prop George Hendry, No.8 Kyle Harris, winger Josh Gordon and Sean Conner are four Kiwis who met while studying at the University of Otago in Dunedin and have made their way over the ditch and to Sydney’s eastern suburbs to kick start their working lives.

The power of four if you like and it’s given the Galloping Greens a momentum that hasn’t been apparent for a number of seasons.
