Round 2 Tips:
Kinross v Gregs @ The Fortress (we're calling it this now??? Fine... urrgghhhhhhhhh)
At home, I would have tipped Kinross in a moderately comfortable win, but Gregs getting up over Stannies last weekend muddies the waters ... a lot! This one's going to be close but I think Kinross won't sleep walk their way into this game knowing what Gregs can do. I'm going to say Kinross by the slimmest of margins and wouldn't be surprised it it's a draw.

Pius v Pats @ Oxford Falls
I'm heading up to watch what i think will be the match of the round. The two Christian Brothers schools ripping in - as they do - every year - always - without fail! I've seen many a false dawn at Pius, only for them to go back to bed and sleep for the remainder of the season. But their results against Scots and Oakhill can't be ignored. On the flipside, the reports of St Pat's death appear to be greatly exaggerated! Whilst everyone predicted that the departure of Conti and Woods would lead to an African famine of results, their strong showing against a rock solid Trinity team and a win out west against Kinross tells me that there is still life in Strathfield yet!!!
I suspect though that this will be Pius' year. Predicting a blue and gold win with a try on the bell.

Stannies v Auggies @ Hogwarts
Hometown advantage is at it's strongest in Bathurst but I don't think the reincarnated soul of Pope Francis could stop this result from happening. Auggies are off to their usual strong start out of the blocks and their results to date - especially against Scots - do not auger well for the blue and white.
An Auggies win and probably by a healthy margin.

St Pius supporters day this weekend as well. Should be a great turnout and hopefully a big result for the Blue and Gold after their unlucky outcome last week.

Are Stannies and Kinross Canteens a boom or doom

Best Canteen/Barbecue in the ISA? thoughts comments........

I didn't think there was any doubt that the Oakhill BBQ reins supreme. They'll cook you a steak sandwich to order, the amount of bacon on a B&E roll is outstanding and the banter from the BBQ is always hilarious. Just don't mock the Springboks in front of the fella who runs the BBQ...... actually on 2nd thoughts, do mock the Springboks in front of him

 

[Footyxpert1]

can we get a ranking for every canteen jerry?

 

[FootyBeers&Lads]

Yeah sure why not,

1. Oakhill
2. Kinross
3. Gregs
4. Auggies
5. Pats
6. Pius
7. Stannies

Yours Truly,
"Juvenile" Jerry

Oakhill at number 1, bit of a joke not much of a good sanga there.

Can be cold too...

Gregs may ask to meet in the carpark if you complain on their sangas...

St Pius supporters day this weekend as well. Should be a great turnout and hopefully a big result for the Blue and Gold after their unlucky outcome last week.

Pius boys certainly ready to come out firing after a tough loss they should've came out with a W from. Big in-form squad who should be almost fully fit to rise against rivals on a big day for the College on a great playing surface.

My tip would be Pius 16+ and possible could roll on a big total agaisnt the boys from out West.

Any other tips for this matchup and the other games this weekend?

[oakhill_oldboy]

Can talk about all these other schools... At the end of the day no one's coming close to oakhill!!!! (Everyone Knows it)

 

[Nickwhiteisdadda]

Sebastia Sia No. 3 for St Gregs. Absolute BEAST. Absolute workhorse and freak under the high ball off the kick off. ONE TO WATCH

 

[Footyxpert1]

Oakhill is dying an the "lesser" schools are taking over

 

[Footyxpert1]

Stockingbill high where is that?
