Firstly congratulations to Shore. Secondly, if Newington had beaten Shore in their washout game, with all other results staying the same, then Scots would've won by one point with Shore 3rd (New would have 3 extra points and Shore 3 less points). Thirdly, day 2 of Scots v Grammar was washed out resulting in both teams receing zero points. This clearly unfair rule is to be changed next season with the points to be split as they are if a one day game is washed out during the match. Ironically Scots and Newington both suffered from this exact situation last season. Every other game that weekend was completed. Had the new rule applied this season Scots would be premiers.
Finally, on what basis is Scots a 'team of champions' as opposed to a 'champion team'? Apart from the final game and excluding T20 they were undefeated (including games v a touring Brisbane school and a tour of Melbourne with less than a full strength team), was the only team to win 2 games outright including beating Shore by an innings and 61 runs (the only other school to lose by an innings was High) and they had 2 GPS reps compared to Riverview's 4. With the exception of one player who arrived in Yr 10, the entire team either started in Yr 7 or the Prep. School. Every player made valuable contributions at some stage during the season and the team was not overly reliant on one player like Shore with Stobo.
To besmirch the boys, their coach and the College, as Gristlechewer has done, is a disgrace.
