NSW AAGPS 2018

[Rich_E]

I tipped Kings last year, but they found a way to lose it.

I tipped Kings to win in 2016 and 2017.

Regardless of the Poll results, it is very hard to go past Scots as favourites. With a significant number of last year's Championship winning team returning - they will be hard to beat!

Hi GPS followers.

I am trying to track down a Joey's & Kings home game writer for the 2018 season.

Would anyone care to volunteer?

At present there is Crackerjack covering (Scotts), QuickHands (New), Shortball (View) UpTheGuts (Shore).

It is primarily for the season proper and only for home games.Of course if you choose to do a write up of the trial games that may well be published as well.

Let me know

Get Kings to sell Shore pies at JS White and you might have a chance of luring Azzuri out of retirement.

I note the poll instructions say "Multiple votes are allowed".

​

Perhaps that accounts for Shore's popularity.

They must follow the vote early and vote often doctrine.

RUMOUR confirmation

Heard today Shore may not field a team in the 16A competition this year.
Anyone?

 

[Up the Guts]

Shore 4ths win a very heated game 20-7 against Waverly. More than 4 yellow cards and a number of fights, poor ref had trouble keeping the boys calm. Hopefully a bit more decorum in the remaining games.

Understandable, their results against Kings and Newington last year, indicated they would struggle to say the least. However, they found suitable opponents elsewhere. They beat Cranbrook 60-5 and Grammar 34-5 don't other game results. So if Shore want to be a 7th CAS side in the 16As for 2018, I wish them well. Apparently, parents approached Dr Wright last year about the well- being of the players hence, their withdrawal.
What it shows is a massive gap opening up between between GPS and CAS. That is not good for Schoolboy Rugby. Nevertheless, the 5 remaining GPS schools have a excellent standard of Rugby and should seek out a sixth school as a replacement. St.Edmunds or Marist in Canberra if schools are prepared to travel could be a possibility. St. Gregory's or St.Augustine's is another possibility. Or a sports high school U/16 side, although I sure their players might have league commitments.
Any suggestions would be most interesting.

Second XV at half time: Joeys 33 Riverview 0
Is this a true View team or are their best over at $cots playing touch

I recall the very first couple of tournaments when they had many more schools, many from NZ and QLD.
Looks a bit thin

Riverview have often sent some of the 2nds backs to Scots. Large deficit nonetheless

 

[Up the Guts]

Shore wins 2nds 19-0.

Joeys 2nd's 61 Riverview 0
