General
*
Under 18 Grade entered its 9th
season of competition against Manly-Warringah - second
only to Southern Sharks (12 seasons).
* The forfeit by Manly-Warringah in the Under 18s was the 49th forfeit against Penrith in competition football. Let's hope that there is no 50th this season, as that is no milestone we want to achieve in a hurry!
Teams
* Senior
Grade's loss against UTS extended its longest
losing sequence against that
club to 15. The Rams won the first ever encounter against the Bats on 7th July, 2001 and has lost all 15 games between the two clubs since.
* After losing 10 on the trot against
Macquarie Uni (16th July, 2005 - 18th April 2009), Reserve Grade
has now won its third game in a row against
that club.
* The Under 18s' forfeit win against Manly-Warringah was its third win in a row against that club - still a long way short its the record 8 game winning sequence against the Wolves (12th August 2000 - 27th April 2002)
Miscellaneous
* The Mac Uni Kookas' final score of 8.1 (49) was incredibly accurate kicking. It got this studious statistician looking at accurate kicking from Penrith sides. Here are the best Penrith scores (ie most goals) for each number of behinds (up to and including 9 behinds):
0 Behinds: 5.0 (30) - Scored four times, the last occasion being 1st Grade on 3rd May 2008 vs Southern Sharks at Gwawley Park
1 Behind: 10.1 (61) - Under 18 Grade, 13th Apr 1996 vs Baulkham Hills at McLaughlin Reserve
2 Behinds: 20.2 (122) (including the first 15 goals straight): Under 18 Grade, 20th Jun 1998 vs East Sydney at Trumper Park
3 Behinds: 12.3 (75) - Scored twice, the last occasion being Under 18 Grade on 4th Jul 1998 vs St George at Greygums Oval
4 Behinds: 16.4 (100) - Under 18 Grade, 1st May 1999 vs South-West Sydney at Rosedale Oval
5 Behinds: 16.5 (101) - Scored twice, the last occasion being Third Grade on 26th Apr 2003 vs South-West Sydney at Rosedale Oval

9 Behinds: 26.9 (165) - Senior Grade, 21st Jul 1991 vs Nepean-Blacktown at Whalan Reserve
