SPC vs Aloys
Should be a good test for the cats of strathfield
I went along to watch Aloysius play Joeys 3rds last week with a parent of an Alo's player. Having read the threads suggesting a last place finish in the CAS I thought Alo's would get pumped. Instead they played very well against a team that I was again led to believe would be the pace setters in the GPS 3rd XV comp.
On the face of it Grammar should be able to get one over Joeys tomorrow. Uncharacteristically they did not seem to be a team with a mission. Alo's exploited them through the centres and out wide and their forwards gained the upper hand early and never relinquished it.
Was probably more surprised when someone mentioned that Joeys 1/2, their best player by a mile, was most likely the only one to get dropped for the next game to make way for another boy who had been sharing roles at half in the upper grades.
Did not see any footage of the Joeys v Knox Firsts but it might be that a lot of the pre-season banter about Joeys being without peer in the Opens Division might be a lot of hot air
