Is this a legitimate fixture or will it be like the 3x20 minute played last year, and where was that friendly game played last year between joeys and Barker (I assume this weekends fixture will be at the opposite venue). And I assume if it's an actual fixture it will be played at 3:15, but if...

Just to confirm, I would be correct in saying this is the 2nd week of trials, so for the schools it would be 2nd week of Term 2? Normally in this week/trial fixture Shore plays Knox and has done so for many consecutive years, and back when AAGPS was a single 5 round comp (instead of double 10...

Just found this, I think this flew under the radar over the summer break. Shore 3rd XV 2024 premiership highlight video.

Well I mean that isn't incredibly difficult considering each year it's really only the same 3 teams in the CAS who are in premiership contention for each competition grade, so considering 2/3 of the possible winners won the 2nds comp, I wouldn't say that directly reflects barker having any...

Got some intel from the CAS forum. Waverley's trials against GPS schools in May 2025. Trial 1: Waverley v Joeys at Hunters Hill. This is going to be a showdown, with both schools in 2024 pulling above their weight with most of their team being younger than year 12, so this fixture will comprise...

Just read on the AAGPS forum the letter that was sent to St Aloysius parents. The division a team is graded to is not based only on the performance of the 1st XV, but all their teams, which is currently the case within the ISA competition (which has 3 grades in it's own as the ISA goes out of...

I too like the home and away format, both formats have their perks, but for the sake of this new inter school comp I wish we'd move to 5 rounds so we could join it (this would help show the dominance and superiority of AAGPS rugby). The 10 round version enables players to play away at every...

That's why I said put all 6 GPS schools (not just the top 3) in the top grade of the interschool competition, because they all belong their. The team that came last in the GPS (riverview) beat the team that won the CAS (Barker), so I know that all 6 GPS schools could play in that comp. That is...

Talking about it expanding, the AAGPS schools could very easily join this if their season was cut back from 10 rounds to 5 rounds. This would also very easily work as all 6 GPS schools join that interschools comp would mean that, there are 6 rounds, where for each GPS school plays the 3 ISA...

Did anyone see this on the CAS forum. After they play their actual CAS and ISA competition, all those schools are playing an interschools competition that is based by skill grades/divisions. This is something I've wanted all 3 Sydney school competitions to create so that we can see different...

On second thought, I think Frape will get the #4 position over Sidwell, and yes I agree that the number 7 position is really up for grabs with multiple boys in contention.

I'd put Sherrington over Reardon for number 7, although Murdoch could be a major contender for number 7. Frape could get the nod over Sidwell for number 4. Hockey would contest Charlie Mott for number 14. What positions are Hamilford and Leahy, believe they were 16A's 2024.

This is my guess on the first two weeks of trial games against GPS schools, please tell me if you know what schools are actually being played against during these trial matches and where they're being played. Knox: Trial 1 - Joeys at home Trial 2 - Shore at home Barker: April holidays game...

My predictions for Shore 1st XV 2025. Year group listed is their 2025 year group, and the team listed is the team they played in during 2024. 1. Charlie Armarti - 2nd XV (multiple fill in appearances in 1st XV in 2024) - Year 12 2. Max Garner - 2nd XV - Year 12 3. Lawson Armstrong - 2nd XV, u16...

That is pretty big that Knox beat Joeys at hunters hill in 2019, as that year Joeys went undefeated in the AAGPS in 1sts, 2nds and 3rds, achieving the almost impossible golden triple crown. Although, it was a trial, and we know schools like Joeys and Riverview treat trials quite literally as a...
