As we head into the business end of the season, there are some big games this round. Padua and Eddies both looking to cement themselves as unreachable on top of the table and teams such as Pats, Ashgrove and Iona desperately trying to stay in the hunt, should be a cracking round of footy...

As convenient as a 14 week season would be, I think playing sport throughout term 4 is impractical as year 12s only have classes for a few week then go into final exams and actually finish earlier than the rest of the school. Nobody wants to see the premiership coming down to a battle of the 16 As

In my opinion round four could blow the competition wide open, with various key match ups, it's do or die for Pats, Peters, Ashgrove, Iona and Villanova. Padua vs Pats- Pats by 5 Expecting an absoloute thriller at Banyo on Saturday and I'm tipping Pats desperation to get them across the line...

Well round one was one of the best and most surprising in recent memory of AIC. I'm very interested to see what happens in round two, with the four undefeated teams playing each other this round, the two winners of this game could blow the competition wide open. Likewise, the losing teams from...

I am not saying that it was a fluke at all I am merely saying it was just one of those days when everything goes perfectly for one team, in this case Padua whilst the other team seems to have everything go against them. I wouldn't expect Kendrick felu to miss in front conversions against other...

Yes the game was played for the majority in the forwards with most of Paduas tries coming through ball retention and just pick and driving until one of the forwards burrowed over the line.

After expecting to see Villanova comfortably win against Padua I must confess Villanova were outclassed by a courageous and well drilled Padua side. The scary thing about Padua is that, unlike previous years, they are not a one man show or an average team relying in one or two superstars. Each...

Any word on the respective captains from each school?

Any predictions or word on who will be the captains from their respective school?

Iona vs Peters- tipping Iona due to the experience of returning premiership players ding well and Jayden Carroll aswell as strike weapon David yabsley Villa vs Padua- tipping villa, too big too strong in the back line with Kendric felu and Cameron torpy Eddies vs SLC- tipping eddies behind a...

From what I can gather st Patricks forward pack is lacking strength and size. Any truth to this?

Another season begins! Villanova seem to have attracted a lot of attention on the thread thus far and rightly so, after watching their win over St Laurence's on the weekend I would say they garner all the attention received. The debate over controversial yellow cards and send offs are...

It has become a custom that AIC schools go on tours before the season. Whilst this is obviously a wonderful opportunity for students, I can't help but think it sometimes does more harm than good. Schools can go away and play virtually a whole season of games in just 2 or 3 weeks. This can often...

Clifton Setu? I couldn't imagine that after dominating the competition in 2013 he wouldn't make the AIC ones side this year.

Great to see lots of support for the 2014 AIC season! Thought I'd chip in with my personal thoughts on each team IONA: starting with the defending premiers, I like their chances to repeat. With experienced and battle tested forward Dom Dingwell in the front row Iona should boast another strong...
