Viking axes remind me a little of Churchie's crest;

Yes I am aware of a few to go through, its about the right age gap, either a Dad or uncle maybe? Both Tancreds are/were very good forwards.

Is George Tancred's Dad, Tom, from the View 1996 premiership side?

Chairman may have already covered the View teams, thanks Chair', below is a visual confirmation.

Nice work Joker, I was going to look at 1964 for View, I know it was a successful sporting year, taking out some of the IV's as well as the VIII in Rowing, undefeated 1st XV Rugby and winning the Athletics. Interesting regarding the cricket season, or lack there of..

Riverview could be the first AAGPS school to win the 1st XV Rugby, Rowing; HOTR, State, National and Henley schoolboy VIII titles, all this year. Long season remaining in a tough comp', regardless, the boys maneuvered themselves into a great position. Go View!

2018 had drunk old boys from the Gulag at HH storming the field to lay some hits on a few View schoolboys in the XV, when the post came down, nothing to be proud of there. It had had an affect on the players and the outcome. Pink & blue coloured glasses indeed. 2003 was a nail biter, great...

Thanks Joker, so with the View/Kings bracket, do you mean +22 instead of +12?

Ghost will post it when announced EB.

Scots were an unusually large side in 1993.

Geez they just scraped through in 1988, as the score was 6-3 Joeys to View. I don't know if school got closer to beating Joeys that year? Credit where credit is due though, well done Joeys.

Shore had a solid day out too Chair', well done to all the boys, some impressive times this early. Should keep them fit for rugby next season. Spoiler alert for those who haven't heard about/watched the latest Wallabies game, and some notable ex- AAGPS boy performances; Cracking Wallabies game...

1969 I believe Rudderless, so a long drought.. Well done to Shore on taking out the 10 round GPS title for 2024, well fought and desrved. I like the 10 round system, shows consistency and this year was so tight between the schools, wet weather thrown in and a 70% - 40% win rate the difference...

Just got back from the Wallabies game in Bris, we looked young and inexperienced compared to the Boks, have alot of work to do. Amazed by how many Saffa's showed up, there will be plenty of them in Perth next week. Had a look at the school matches and well done to Kings for beating a good View...
