As Water Polo players are scholarshipped to the usual suspect schools, I can't imagine why it doesn't count in the league table!

GPS Shooting Results for those who are interested:
GPS 1sts
1. Scots
2. High
3. Kings
4. Shore
5. TAS
GPS 2nds
1. High
2. Kings
3. Scots
4. Shore
5. TAS
Newington & Grammar seem to have competed in at least some events, but weren't listed on the premiership result sheet that I saw. Not sure if that means that they weren't in the premiership division or that the results I saw only listed the first 5 (which would be odd). Final results are not as yet on the AAGPS website.

gotta love the GPS.
If it's tradition it will never get dropped.
How can anyone credibly argue this is an activity that should be promoted amongst School kids?
I shouldn't joke about it,but do any of these leading schools in this activity, have bell towers?

Boxing was once a GPS sport, not sure when it was officially dropped.

Obviously no feral pigs left in Moore Park.

quite right - havent seen one for a while - maybe they practice on the rabbits in centennial park: even harder to hit!

Judging by the marksmen at High, they'd be pretty scared rabbits

Sorry I meant Triple Colours at New which is more than just getting colours ni three different sports (in itself quite an achievement). From memory its getting colours in three different sports and being part of two GPS premierships or gaining slection in two different combined GPS teams.

Glad to see recognition of water polo on this thread.
It is rugby without the impact of a high speed collision. Brains and brawn.Glad to see recognition of water polo on this thread.

Kellaway definitely would be. The family is now in their 3rd or maybe 4th generation at Scots.

Although it has been erroneously asserted earlier in this thread, that Water Polo doesn't deserve the same recognition as other GPS sports. Apparently in the eyes of some it is a 'minority sport' - as opposed to rifle shooting which gets full recognition and is apparently not a 'minority sport'.
Go figure.
