As a parent of an Oakhill boy who finished year 12 last year, and also as a former member of the Oakhill rugby committee while my son was at the school, I cannot let Slugga's comments slip through to the keeper. Been a while since I posted on this forum but I thought I'd log on to read about...

Another very ordinary performance from the national team tonight. Yes, it was a win, but it was disjointed, dysfunctional and frankly, I'm over it. Serial underperformers is the only phase that comes to mind to describe this 'Deans era' team. Furthermore, the game itself is in distress. Channel...

A lot less returners for Oakhill in 2013. Been a huge year for Oakhill with all Opens sides (1sts to 5ths) winning their ISA titles undefeated. Current year 12 boys featured prominently in both 1sts & 2nds and the U16 A&Bs didn't secure their ISA premierships so could be a leaner 2013 for the...

Lee, Pretty sure it was Porch playing at #10 who orchestrated Farrer's impressive Waratah Shield quarter final performance against Oakhill a couple of weeks ago. He looked a class act and quite accomplished in the fly half role.

Most likely correct to say that Oakhill go into the final as favourites. They definitely looked the best of the 4 semi finalists on Wednesday at Milner and they did put Augies to the sword a month ago. However......Augies have one last chance to redeem something of their season and they will be...

GR, Happy that Jimmy Holden confirmed as the try scorer - he is a no nosense, high work rate grafter who has proven ability to sniff out the try line from close range. Not so sure I agree with your assessment of the above 3 being the hardest workers in the 2012 Oakhill pack. The great thing...

Think you are mistaken - Blacklock definitely packs down as rake - with Holden and Benton as his props, although Holden does do the throwing into the lineout. I'm pretty sure it was Blacklock that got the try yesterday - it was a bit of a "pile on" but looked like Blacklock who got up with the...

Went along to Milner yesterday for the 'Tah Shield semis.......... Augies v Stannies Not a high quality game but Augies were always in control - final score 53 - 17. Stannies were way off the pace and Augies never looked they got into top gear - lots of stop, start and scrappy stuff. To my...

Tears, assuming Kinross beat Pius with a bonus point victory, then I think Greg's and Kinross would be equal 2nd on 22 points with Augies a point behind on 21. So, looks like the victor of the Augustine's v Kinross deferred game will take 2nd place. Very much agree with you though in relation to...

Final round for all bar Augies and Kinross this weekend. Good luck to all teams, especially the departing year 12 boys - I hope you have enjoyed playing this great game for your schools as much as we have enjoyed watching you. Pedro, the Oakhill crew are making their way over the mountains to...

Oakhill did indeed take on Farrar today after St Johns Dubbo withdrew after apparently confering with the Kinross brains trust and deciding on the back of last Saturday's result it wasn't worth disrupting the boys HSC trials in the vain hope of defeating Oakhill in Sydney - ye of little faith...

Hey Pedro - how did things go at Campbelltown yesterday?

Hey Pedro, thanks for your tips and insights. Greg's have surprised me since coming back from the break and I think playing at home they will have the edge over your boys. They have demonstrated a recent ability to score plenty of points and I think their attack will prove too much for Stannies...

Gee that's a big call Follower. Agree with Ryan that if they get over Kinross this Sat they then have a midweek QF game against St Johns before the following weekend's roadtrip to Bathurst and then another midweek game the following week in a semi final against the impressive Marist side who...

Agree with Ryan that based on year to date results Kinross are a good side. Despite HSC trials commencing this week and the Oakhill side largely consisting of year 12 boys, the Oakhill coaches and players will be well prepared for this Saturday's encounter. There is a lot of respect for Kinross...

Pedro, good to see you back! eccentric though you may be you certainly add to the colour in this room! Look forward to your report of this weekend's game.

The Oakhill v Kinross ISA 6th round match on 4 August will double as the Waratah Shield 2nd round game. Think the winner will then play their QF against St. Johns on the following Tuesday, 7 August. SF match for the winner of that game potentially on Wednesday, 15 August.

Hey JC, please don't think it doesn't matter - it does! More than a few of us here very interested in results and reports across all of the ISA games - please keep your comments coming.

Hi Jarse This round of matches is being played at Oakhill. It is the school's annual gala day so will be plenty going on with a big crowd in attendance - will be a great atmosphere for the 1st XV fixture. The main pitch at Oakhill has had a fair bit of work done in the past couple of years. A...

Score was about 38 - nil. 6 tries, 4 conversions or thereabouts. Forwards were very dominant - one of the tries was a brilliant 20 m rolling maul - pretty to watch! Waverly very disjointed in both attack & defence - not sure how many of their regular 1st XV players were on the park but if it was...
