Hello Here for the Advice.No 3XV for Newington in that comp ?
It has historically been the case for many years that Newington do not compete in the 3rd XV competition, largely due to the inclusion of TAS and agreement with those schools. Often when a school plays Newington in the competition, the 3rd XV plays TAS and the school B teams typically play the TAS A teams. But not always. The draw has been complicated by two rounds in the 1st XV and 2nd XV versus just one round in the 3rd XV competition. To have 9 teams in the 3rd XV comp would create complications with the draw, byes, length of season etc. I think its a shame that Newington do not play in the 3rd XV comp but that's been the situation for some time.
