Will all this rain impact the Ballymore Cup? Not sure what Albany Creek is like after a downpour.

The Fields drain really well out there its the area around the fields that will be a muddy mess.

Any preseason trials these holidays? Who’s playing at Ballymore Cup?

MCA played The Armidale School in Armidale this afternoon - First and Second XV’s.

Marist won the Firsts 60-24 and the Seconds 61-19.

Saw the scores on IG, can’t comment on players or strength of the opposition.

I heard Padua played Noosa u18s last night and won 30-nil in a shortened game. (25min halves)

Marist played the Far North Coast NSW rep trial squads who are trialling for positions to play in the NSW Junior State Championships in June. The Marist 2nd XV played the FNC u16's and Marist 1st XV played a combination of the u18 FNC team with a large volume of the u16's backing up. I'm not sure who organised the games on the same weekend the Ballymore Cup was being played. I wouldn't read too much into the results as 65-70% of the kids who will make these FNC sides were away with their school playing in the Ballymore Cup.

After looking at results from the Ballymore Cup it appears that St Laurence's is on track for another strong year only loosing one game the GF to Ipswich Grammar.

On the other hand Iona have a long way to go, after finishing last in Div 1.

Eddies and St Pats played in the Div 2 comp both managed to get a couple of wins. Which would probably be better for their confidence going into the season.
