3rd XV Trial 2 Results
High 1st XV 25 d Newington 3rd XV 24
What a great win for High and the first victory for a number of years. Considering that last season they did not score a single point in 7 comp games, this is a great result and a sign that they will be in the mix in the 3rd XV competition this year. Well done!
Kings 3rd XV 14 d v Scots 3rd XV 12
This match turned out to be the close contest that was predicted with the defending co-premiers opening their trial season with a narrow win over Scots. Both Kings and Scots will be in the running this year and have opened their seasons well.
Shore 3rd XV 12 d Knox 3rd XV 7
Shore extend their winning streak with a close away win over Knox 3rd XV at Wahroonga. With a couple of wins under their belt, it will be interesting to see how they go next week in Trial 3 against Kings.
Waverley 2nd XV 20 d Riverview 3rd XV 12
A good performance by Riverview 3rd XV against Waverley 2nds who are pretty strong. Riverview should have an easier game next week against Newington and will be better for this hitout.
Joeys 3rd XV 42 d Oakhill 2nd XV 7
This was a great result for Joeys 3rds and an indication that they are hitting form at the right time. Their matches against St Greg's have been excellent preparation for the season. They face Scots away next week in the thrid trial and that will be another good indication of how they are travelling.
Kinross 1st XV 33 d Grammar 1st XV 15
Kinross make it two from two wins over GPS 1st XV teams after their big win over TAS last week and would be very pleased to knock Grammar off at home. But that's two trial losses to Grammar and they face Stannies next week before a final trial against St Pats. A bit hard to tell how they are going in preparation for the GPS 3rd XV comp but time will tell.
Note to all readers: The 3rd XV comp has only one round of 7 games and so there are two more trials even though the 1st and 2nd comps start next week.
