St Pius vs St Pats - Oxford Falls
16A
Led by a strong front row the Pius forwards dominated the scrums and gave the backs good ball on the front foot.
They spread the ball wide kicked through and chased in numbers putting the Pats defenders under pressure.
H/T 24-0 to Pius
More of the same in the 2nd half
F/T 43-0 to Pius
Very impressive display from the Pius 16A's, I am sure many of these boys will be in the firsts next year.
2nds (vs Pats 4ths)
Pius scored with the first touch of the ball. The Pius No 11 picked up a loose ball and beat 4 defenders to score out wide
5-0
Pats then controlled possession with good forward pick and drive.
2nd time Pius got possession in good field position they scored with a good forward drive
10-0

After a kick and chase Pius scored next to the posts.

Full time
1st
Pius started well forcing a penalty from the kick off.
Pressured the Pats line but couldn't convert.
Pats forced the turnover kicked down field.
Pats held possession around half way worked the ball upfield through some good forward runs.
Continued pressure form Pats resulted in a 5 yard scrum, a good back line move saw a Pats try wide out.

A Pius quick tap from a scrum penalty resulted in a turnover to Pats, Pats kicked down field but was quickly turned over by Pius.
Scrum ball tight head to Pius, down the side line and into touch.
Pius steal the line out and attack out wide.
Pats defense too strong.
Charge down kick Pats line out 10 meters from the Pius line, Pius steal the line out again.
Pats defend their line strongly spills out of the ruck and Pats kick it out downfield.
After some play a penalty to Pats they find touch 40 out from the Pus line.

Play back and forth Pats 5 binned for a shoulder charge.
Full time
40-10 to Pats
The best player on the field was the Pats 10 who controlled the Pats ball with a clever mix of running, kicking and short and long passing.
The small Pius pack played out of their skins and surprised the Pats forwards, however the Pius backs looked slow and disjointed. Noted that Fraser Toohey was out with an hamstring strain injury in the ISA trials.
The difference was that whenever Pius made a mistake and turned over the ball the Pats boys made them pay.

there seems to be more chatter about ISA Teams on other threads
a shame really
Oaks seem to have racked up a few impressive results in the trials
they should be confident going into this Saturdays top of the table clash.
though touted as a "final"
It is well within the powers of Bathurst or Strathfield to snatch a surprise wine from either of the higher ranked teams
with the bonus point system in place wining is not the only prize but it helps

CLASH OF THE HEAVY WEIGHTS*
Oakhill College Vs. St. Augustines College
Both teams coming off some impressive wins, both managing to take the scalps of some of GPS's finest.
From what i've seen of Oakhill, they have a slick and impressive back line (particularly outside backs- and Goddard)
And from what i've heard about Augustines, is their dominant pack and big backs.
All the chat will go out the window post Saturday's clash.
Going to be a ripper of a match and i would say IMHO there will be a large attendance!!
Anyone else to contribute to the preview?? thought i should put a bit of a preview together seeing it bothered @sarcophilus that the ISA don't 'Chat it up' so to speak

Sorry bout my choice of music! I put some music to it to lessen the harsh wind noise picked up on the camera's microphone, and to obscure any chat from spectators nearby [in case they are quietly slagging off the headmaster or someone who's having a bad game etc]. I don't want to remove the sound entirely because I like to hear the whistle & any crowd oos & ahs. Also, a bit of a beat 'appears' to make the pace of the game faster and more watchable [??]...clearly classical music wouldn't work.

With David Knox (ex-wallaby) coach of Sydney High, and Francis Cullimore (ex-all black) coach of St.Pius, you would expect both teams to be primed and ready for this trial match at Mackay Oval Centennial Park. St.Pats had played both teams leading up to this game; St.Pats played High during the week for a Waratahs Shield match and won by 30-40, and St.Pats had played Pius the weekend before and had also won by 30.
The breakdown was fiercely contested by both teams willing to secure possession, and a high paced match ensued.
First scoring went to Pius with a simple scrum move close to the High line. High, in the first half, were held up over the line twice, and eventually scored after further raids on the Pius line.
Pius #7 and captain was binned mid first half for a dangerous tackle/ tip tackle, but High could not capitalise with the man down.
A try against the run of play for Pius saw them leading at half time with the score 14-12.
The second half started much as the first – both teams competing for the ball fiercely, and there was no quarter given by both teams. The Pius scrum was (slightly) stronger than High’s, and Pius’ stronger forward pack eventually ground down the somewhat lighter High forwards.
While High scored one more try in the second half, Pius put on 3 x more. High did have some chances to further score, but crucial handling errors with space open prevented them adding to their scoreline.
The best players for High were the captain and #9, the #8 who was everywhere, and the #7 - despite infringing a few times.
The best for Pius was the captain and #7 who led his team well around the park and at the breakdown, the #2 had a strong game, and the #15.
The game was played in reasonably good spirits between the two teams, as apparently the corresponding fixture last year had a few players carded and some unsavoury incidents occurred. I believe both schools will take away positives from this match for their next weekends fixtures.

Probably the biggest game of the ISA Div 1 and this (^^^^) is all the banter so far? Time to lift your game ISA supporters.
I reckon there are some nervous folk on the Peninsular, and out in the Hills.
Hugh's Tips.
23/5 round 1
Augies v Oakhill. Augies piggies should probably carry the day in a cracker of a game. Fortuitously, for the ISA Rep team chances, this game is not close to the ISA games against CAS and CHS, because there will be some lads carrying some bumps and bruises tomorrow evening. It may be a rare double: Waratah Shield and ISA for the Brookvale boys. Augies by < 10.
Stannies v The Bye. Simples. Stannies will rest many of their top players and consequently will struggle to get more then 28 points against The Bye.
Kinross v St Pats. Pats on the Breen Oval are always a tough gig, and like a good Guinness stout, Kinross don't travel all that well. Pats to win by 7-15.
St Gregs v St Pius. Gregs are notoriously slow starters so it's Pius for the chocolates in a good old fashioned arm wrestle of a match. Pius by 7-15.

Thanks for the rev up Hugh
This Saturday is back to saints day at Rat Park will also be an awareness/fundraiser day for Beyond Blue
I am hoping the Brookvale lads fire up for this one (properly) I don't know that they have got out of cruise mode in the trials so far this season. Too many chances have been left on the field
I expect Oaks will be hungry for the full game and wont be allow Augies slip into their too frequent mid game torpor without punishment.

Pity about the weather for this one. Howling southerly coming into Rat Park will have a significant impact. With a good kicker on the other team, it's almost impossible to get out of your own 22 in these conditions.
