I appreciate the opportunity to use this forum for it's intended use, to communicate issues to people who are genuinely interested. Today, for the first time, I was the rugby parent with my boy lying on the ground not moving. It's a daunting feeling. I saw exactly what happened and it was all...

Knox 38 Barker 7 (half time 21-7) Here's a brief run down on the game for those who did not wish to brave the cold (and I must say the crowd was down on expectations). This is all from memory and will gladly accept additions and comments. A very interesting first half. Barker had 70% of the...

Elfster, if you're interested in a team to pop in your little black book for the future (a la Johnny Tapp) try the current Knox U14s. Went through 12s undefeated, 13s undefeated and currently same this year. The individual game score lines are very one sided (check CAS web site), only Cranbrook...

Just a small correction for jim bellows. Knox 10 was Nicholas, 15 was Field. I have the program from today. Both Year 11 boys.
