    Oh that's right! Forgot Lauries were also going to NZ. Hopefully they can turnaround in future games - no doubt will be tough competition so may do them some good come AIC, despite the huge loss.

    Also, additionally to both Ashgrove and Villa travelling to NZ for their tours, St Peters have been in Canberra on tour and I've heard Padua had a fairly intensive camp up at Twin Waters, before joining Eddies and Iona at the Ballymore Cup. Lauries have had a few hit outs too. I hope Pats are...

    Interesting analysis there. I thought both Iona and Padua played below what they were capable of, Iona was denying Padua any opportunities with good defence, but just a few gaps gave the centres something to run into. Padua definitely were going in underdogs into the final against Rocky as...

    Day 1 results of Ballymore Cup - I agree Iona will be more competitive this year. It's great for the AIC if we can have much closer games; its not fun seeing teams get smashed 80-0 like last year!

    Padua, Iona and Eddies are currently playing in the Ballymore Cup which will give them some much needed experience and things to work on before Round 1 begins. Finals are tomorrow at Ballymore if anyone's interested

    I've heard a rumour that St Pats have secured 10 positions in the AIC 1 Team. To add, apparently this year Marist weren't as pushy for the most places and accepted and owned their ability. I suppose Pats have secured this new position, reportedly being out of touch and unsportsmanlike. I'm not...

    Padua won 19-7, the game was closer than the score demonstrates, the ref was ordinary, Padua played very sloppy, a lot of drop ball and gradually improved into the second half. Pats was on their heels the whole game.

    Padua is actually hosting St Laurence's at Banyo. It is Padua's 60th Year Anniversary so it will be a massive day and weekend for the college with the 1st XV game kicking off at 3:30. It is also the 'Back to Banyo' round where many Old Boys come out and support

    Padua is touring the UK and France over 3 weeks in the Easter holiday period just in time for the Rugby season. They usually take 35-40 boys every two years on this but this year just over 60 will be touring and that should definitely lift team spirit, unity and good game plans for all 16's and...

    I'm not saying that the Ashgrove coach is bad, but he may have had a heavy influence on selection, given that he knew all the ashgrove's players abilities. You're saying that the competition Isn't in corruption(probably is a too strong of a statement) but I've heard that the whole 1st Squad and...

    Has anyone else noticed the amount of Ashgrove players in the AIC 1? I personally believe the whole competition is in corruption (seriously). There is no way that with 4/5 players in the team with 2 on reserve that the coach, that is also an Ashgrove coach picked a side that was not biased...

    Padua vs. St Peters, final score 57-27. First ever undefeated premiership that the boys will remember forever! When over 300 boys ran onto the field at the end, it was an overwhelming feeling. Well done to all the other teams, to be apart of a 1st XV team is such an achievement within itself...

    Padua defeated Iona 15/17-12. Padua scored in the last 5 minutes with a score of 12-10 to Iona. The game was very exciting to watch

    Padua won 50-17 over an improving Iona team. In the first 20 minutes both teams struggled to get points on the scoreboard due to the swing of penalties. Iona's kicker denied the team an early penalty kick 10 minutes in but managed to put one over minutes later. Padua demonstrated a lot of skill...
