"Quick Hands", any idea of this is only for the local schools? It says that it is for invitation only.

Yeah there were a lot of rugby followers there and he spoke really well before presenting the winners' medals. He has a Wayne Bennett-like presence and articulated the dedication needed to succeed in professional sport, especially sevens rugby. He was all class...for a Kiwi

St Edward's are State champs once again! Their Under 16's took out the Sevens title defeating Hunter Sports, Illawarra Sports, Ingleburn, Stannies and then Hills Sports in the final. Their 14's won the 15-a-side Coast to Country cup last term. Well done in what was a great tournament. Nice of...

There will be some amazing under 16's players on show tomorrow. 3 sports high schools (Hunter, Illawarra & Hills) and a few strong rugby schools (St Edward's, Stannies etc.) make for great viewing. Morrie Breen Oval, Wyong.

Brisbane Waters will be tough competition for Epping - they are physical and flashy, with the majority of their players being rugby league representatives. St Edward's College, Gosford took out the Central Coast region of the Coast to Country Cup, beating these guys in the semi-final (Eddies...

Today was the Central Coast division of the Coast to Country Cup (Schoolboys under 14s & 16s tournament held for schools that reside outside the Sydney area). The day was run with teams broken up into pools, vying for the chance to progress to the State finals. The teams that will be...

The schools' "Coast to Country Cup" tournaments for under 14s and 16s starts soon. This Friday there is a gala day being held to decide the winners of the Central Coast division. The top two sides qualify for the state finals in mid September - Look for St Edward's Gosford and Brisbane Waters SC...

Sounds like some strong support for future rugby matches etc. I do know that in week 2 of next term the 'Coast to Country Cup' starts and that pits schools of all denominations from outside of Sydney against one another (under 14s & 16s). St Edward's College and Brisbane Water Secondary...

Teacher named Paul Sullivan, ex Country player who also played in UK. Now teaching & pushing the union there, & supposedly it's a strong program (my son is a league player who now loves union because of the opportunities there). I hope they can continue to hold onto their talent as Connor...

16s is named in the coming weeks. Grasby and Valu should see their names in the mix; they are very skilful players and are also huge units. Jeremy Abdullah will hopefully come into contention and I imagine Tristan Sailor's name will certainly be mentioned. On another note: There's been some...

'What were you thoughts on the CCC 1# will Grassby. He seemed like a good player to me' Will Grasby is a great player. He reminds me of David Lyons: Big ballrunner whom can prop and play number 8. The more work the NSW staff can do with this lad on his scrimmaging the better, as he is a talent...

What were your thoughts on the game, individual players etc. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get there and watch; did anyone catch the under 16's games?

I agree on this. Francis Brown (Mackillop, Warnervale) was the only CCC rep in last year's Aussie School's squad and he was only called in at the last minute as a replacement for a fallen prop. He is back this year and should be, at the least, in the NSW 1 side. There are numerous other players...

Just noticed that Australia's team for the Rugby League nines, at the Commonwealth Games, will be the Sydney Roosters SG Ball team. Connor Watson has been named, I wonder if Knox will give the green light for this and, if so, will that rule him out of any higher rep honours for the year in union?

Are there any reports from anyone? I received feedback form boys who played, yet would love to hear from a keen observer who wasn't involved. The boys told me Jeremy Abdullah was a standout in the 16s, scoring two tries, one from a kick-off. Not too sure about individual players in the opens...

This is a good question; I would suggest that it is a bit of both. The boys that made it were deserved of their spots and the strength of the country schools is evident in the ARU run "Coast to Country Cup", the final of which is played each year in Forster, NSW (around late term 3). This is...

2 additions for the opens team (one was left off website & the other was called in today): Bailey Grim, St Edwards College (Gosford) Francis Kiutau, St Edwards College (Gosford)
