Back in the day, the Buch was used for Rugby/Football. The Oldboys far field was the main football field. Due to drainage issues on Old boys, main football field was moved to Buch oval freeing up the Old boys for Rugby only. Tempe was used for 14's Rugby teams but Football has moved a lot of their games to Tempe now, freeing up more space for Rugby thus the 14's are back at New. Having ( unfortunately ) many football teams, accomodating them is difficult however they are happy to play many games "off site" which is good for Rugby. Compromise with having the Old Boys Rugby only. I noticed sometimes the View 1 and Scots Main are used for "other" sports. Newington's Johnson Oval will never be tarnished by a round ball or the "southern game". If it was up to me and the people on this website, there would be no nets on the posts, yet many boys choose to play the round ball game.
