There are alot more rugby teams than league or afl...

Dont like temporary stands myself....for reference Marist Ashgrove have the dimensions right...still plenty of atmosphere from the grandstand...even if hitting 4 is pretty easy square of the wicket....

My own opinion on SLC is that the cattle have steadily improved. But that the cattle can never win without a quality coach. Well done SLC coaching staff...keep it up

Thats enough people...lets talk relevant stuff..SLC wins Ballymore cup 2022 18-15 over SCG.

What a way to kick off 2022. Ambrose Treacy have a massive foot in the door with an invitation to "Fill in" wherever schools have a non contest from another school. They might be playing all over the city on any given Saturday but this will surely end up being in the seconds in the St Peters...

....ahh no...you don't join....you get invited....and its not even on the horizon....GPS would prefer to only have 8 in the comp.....no byes and with the terms being so short these days there is hardly time for the comp..let alone trials and byes

That is the first time I have ever heard of a Marist team being easy beats....ever. ...

No chance of trials really as AIC end of season runs straight into AIC rugby league.. I wonder if any one school will ever win all 4 football codes in one year....SLC could do it this year

Agree with much of that but just a few points out of this on the positive side..... 1. There are still plenty of parents who dont take the GPS bait. I think sometimes people forget that. 2. The AIC brand of rugby is very attractive to watch, as in they throw the ball around without over...

What do you mean by that first line ? The AIC is (mostly ) non sporting scholarship....therefore naturally seen as a second tier to GPS...always has been really...maybe thats what you mean ?? with the odd exception of course...swimming...someone took note of the times last year and AIC swimming...

I couldn't agree more. Eventually Rugby will become a First XV competition only. Sad but true. Same with rugby league in a different way. These sports along with Cricket were the basis of community sport. So I think these sports should ask why is Cricket going gangbusters ?? 1. Its very safe esp...

The tennis also didnt rely on a countback with a joint 1st place after the GF was rained out...resulting in SLC first tennis premiership in 25 odd years ...Its off and a real shame...I think its more to do with the solidarity than the actual threat...Eddies unable to train, Pats probably...

I thought VILLA V SLC was a great game in the context of difficult preseason..driving winds and yes that screaming villa supporter seated next to the microphone...well done to all the boys involved...the intensity was there as was the sportsmanship at full time..when the winning team comes from...

For us not so well informed can you include the opposition thanks..

To date I have only seen that 1 parent per grade 12 is allowed. No parents for any other boys. It may be a cas eof having to look over the fence ??

Scout, In a comp already short and sweet, with some saying the southside is a stronger pool... I think we need to call out the "real GF" claim....the AIC have done the right thing so lets let whoever wins not be dogged by claims of "in a normal year"..... However enjoy your opinion so I dont...

Well lokks like some schools have released the pools and some havent. What I dont know is if "seeding" was done..I dont see any easy games this year anyway when a team knows they are only getting a few games they will want to make them count...and better sides will be hamstrung by lack of...

Funny that recent post recalled an old TAS Grand Final .....AIC is off to a Grand final this year. A late start 2 pool round robin then each team faces the opposite pool position in the last game. Youll need to win all 3 or it will go to countback...for and against presumable...1. ASH SEC PAD...

AIC shares Term 2 with soccer , which has bigger numbers overall, so I guess the numbers are pretty good really...but the 1st XV is still the main game and crowd ( interest ) numbers are really quite good. GPS switched the rugby term to term 3 about 5 years ago to avoid clashing with soccer.

hes thinking swimming oops
