Was it that long ago when kids went to a school and played their hearts out for THEIR school, played with their mates and win , lose or draw were proud to be part of that school? When did "recruitment" become a priority? When did winning a 6 team competition become the major goal of a school?

Just an honest viewpoint. I have only seen Barker and Waverley play once this year and both games were against Aloys. The Waverley game was very close and easily could have gone either way. However, whilst Aloys were very courageous in the first half, the Barker boys turned it on and came away...

enjoy D.H., look forward to your updates .......... and what a shame even the boys won't have an opportunity to support their mates. I wish those playing all the best.

Its a wonderful opportunity for the players to display their talents and also allows the many supporters of schoolboy rugby to watch what is always a high quality game.

Barker? on results so far you would think Waverley easily, then Knox ... but I suppose you never know in sport

tough start for the Aloys boys coming up against Waverley first up and at Death Valley and considering the Wavs results against the GPS schools it looks like a big ask. But i know the boys will give it their best and they will have a dozen really "old boys" cheering them on.

havent got an email but we are looking good for Sat and weather should be great
