It was great watching the NSW trials today
CAS 2 55 ISA 2 10
CCC 31 AICES 10
CAS 1 24 ISA 1 14
GPS 2 53 CHS 2 0
GPS 1 80 CHS 1 0
some amazing skills shown by many especially the GPS 1 team backline. Best game was ISA 1 vs CAS 1 - closely followed by AICES vs CCC. These two matches in my...
More success for AICES 2018 squads - in another first AICES has 2 players picked in the NSW schools 1 and 2 teams(under 16). Big congrat to Harry Snook who made NSW 1's and Brendan Pillman who made NSW 2's. 5 of our boys were also picked in NSW Country. Well done to Patrick Thornton, Joshua Cox...
The Under 16 team shocked many at the NSW championships last weekend. The boys went up against the massive lads from the CHS and were behind at half time 8 -3. In the end CHS wore down AICES to the tune of 28 - 3. In the next match we witnessed the arrival of the amazing Harry Snook, the...
AICES opens put up a valiant display today leading ISA 2's 19 -14 with 10 minutes to go before ISA scored some three quick tries to ultimately assign AICES to another defeat to the tune of 38 -19. Best for AICES was easily Jack Winchester (2) who nabbed at least 5 turnovers. Others to impress...
Difficult for AICES boys as the big guns have so much more depth. For example - several years ago we had the Australian 7's player Tim Anstee who played awesome in the trials but still got overlooked as he was in a well beaten team. This year the opens have some special players with the...
So, 2018 season has kicked off for AICES, the smallest yet still passionate association.
In the u16's the AICES boys played ISA 2's and CCC going down 7-5 to ISA 2's and avenged last years 55 - 0 drubbing by defeating CCC by 15 - 14. Great players to watch here are the number 8 Hunta Saunders...
Anyone we can mate, we are isolated big time in the Shoalhaven. These players won the Illawarra region waratah cup by a big margin and have played together since year 7. We play against Shellharbour AC, Edmund Rice College, TIGS and St Josephs mainly. We competed in the state 7's finals last...
I only saw CHS II vs AICES at the trial at Pittwater. As is the norm for the last couple of years, AICES put up a good fight against CHS but where overwhelmed by size. For AICES the number 8 and 13 stood out as quality players whilst the CHS 2 number 13 was a quality player as well. Theres...

of course, that's awesome for Randwick. It's still nice to see boys from school associations other than CAS, GPS, CHS and ISA make the big dance. Still waiting for an AICES boy to even make NSW schoolboys (hopefully it will happen soon). Boys especially from rural areas in the smaller divisions...
agree with that for sure. For a talented bunch, NSW 1 has been awful. the final today was tough to watch - they were just out enthused and utterly clueless. The defense wouldn't be out of place at divisional trials for CHS, AICES and CCC which is no insult to those NSW divisions but you would...
21 NSW players made either Australian or Barbarians squad! Some notable omissions from the squads including Fenn, Ongosia and Mohi among others. Great to see CCC get another Australian schoolboy with Haangana making the team.
In all honesty, i thought he looked out of his depth at the NSW trials and was amazed he got in over his partner Rasch from CAS. Selectors must see something though so i hope he proves us all wrong and plays well for the squad. Congrats to him.
