Newington went down in the comp at Stanmore by, I think, 6 points, 11-5 in '93 after winning the trial match convincingly at BH. It was 31 years ago, hardly a waterproof defence for a Trial turnaround. In 1993, Scots was the best team money could buy at the time, their centenary, so you can turn the mic back on. Coach, Warwick Melrose was the pilot. Can't speak for Joeys but NC and SBHS didn't have the same "program" to advance its fortunes. If Scots have their stars available, they'll be very hard to beat; if they don't, well... Problem is, you don't know who to believe in the reports of who is available...
