General
* Saturday saw Reserve Grade enter its 20th season of competition against Sydney Uni - only the fifth club Reserve Grade has achieved the 20 season mark against.
Players
* Congratulations to Jason Ware on playing his 300th game for Penrith. This is the club record, second being Michael Walker (268). (See news item about Jason's achievement).
* Congratulations to the following player on making his debut for the club:
Reserve Grade:
Wayne Krause (Jnr)
* Wayne Krause Snr and Wayne Krause Jnr are the third uncle/nephew combination to have played for the club (that I have been able to locate at least)
* Jason Bradley kicked his 100th goal in Reserve Grade for Penrith. He became the fourth player to achieve this feat (behind Tom Hall, Mark Steunenberg and Brad Fishburn) - and became the first player for Penrith to kick 100 goals in both Senior and Reserve Grades.
* Tim Cummins' 8 goals was the highest individual goalkicking effort in 2010. It was the most goals kicked in Senior Grade by a Penrith player since Callen Curry kicked 9 vs S-W Sydney at Dukes Oval in 2005.

Teams
* Reserve Grade's win against Sydney Uni broke a 20 game losing sequence against that club extending back to 1997 (the last win being 22nd June, 1996 and even that was via protest!).
* Reserve Grade's 15.10 (100) was its first 100 point score (and naturally also its highest score) against Sydney Uni.
* Senior Grade played Pennant Hills at Ern Holmes Oval for the first time - (the other two occasions being at Henson Park and Greygums Oval).
* Senior Grade's 18.20 (128) was its highest score against Pennant Hills; 111 points was its highest winning margin; Pennant Hills' 2.5 (17) was its lowest score against Penrith; and the Rams' win was its third out of three efforts against that club.
