Agreed sentiments Joker. Congratulations to you and your son for the 15As. He's a big fella if he's the forward I am thinking of!

Hi INP. it's not quite true to say Newington replaced TAS in the 3rds comp. TAS had to pull out because none of the Sydney schools would travel to Armidale. TAS was prepared to travel to Sydney for the away games so they were scheduled as "friendly" away games. Then when increased covid 19 restrictions prevented TAS travelling, Newington stepped in to take the vacant spots. They don't count for points, but its nice to see Newington back. I want the full thirds comp back! Having returned to Armidale I suddenly find myself bereft of GPS rugby.
This year's comp is Joeys V Grammar. That should be a real matchup. I have no idea how TAS would have gone. While there is a local comp I don't understand how it works nor have I seen any matches because of ground restriction, making TAS a blank slate. As a long term supporter of the minnows I want Grammar to win.
Via clutz TV I have partly seen Grammar play one match. I say partly because there were technical problems. I don't know when Grammar and Joey's are playing. I would live to watch it. Could someone provide a link prior to the event?
Hi Jim, Nice to hear from you. I apologise that I did not explain the full situation with regard to TAS playing in the competition this year. Indeed I was looking forward to TAS v Joeys at Hunters Hill in round 7 even though it would have been a "friendly" fixture as you note.
The Grammar v Joeys game was originally supposed to be Round 3 of the competition but was deferred due to the initial cancellation of AAGPS sport, and when they restarted the games, the round was deferred to 16 September. However it has moved again to 23 September - the Wednesday after the final scheduled round. (I think this is also because the Combined GPS games have been cancelled.)
In any case I am certain that Joker will be distributing the links for the rescheduled games.
Keep well in Beautiful Armidale.
Regards
INP

I hope that's not the case Joker, but don't know. Our boys were straight back in their boarding houses after their matches.

Some talk about 16s boys playing 3s, has the GPS changed the rules, I thought it used to be that boys could only play up in the 1sts and 2nds?
Sorry mate. Now that the AAGPS 3rds competition has returned then this allows year 10's to play.
I have a man on the ground there, lets see what he can see.

Ah right, that makes sense. A bit of a dilemma for schools, I think there’s value in keeping a good 16s side together.
