Joeys 3rd XV v Shore 3rd XV (1:00pm on SJC #1)
Joeys defeated Shore in one of their trial matches, but this is prime time, and Shore need the victory to remain in contention for the premiership and to retain the Col Windon Shield that they won last year for the first time.

Sorry my friend, Shore has won the thirds premiership five times. They first won it in 1929

I really hope they are a good side. Rugby can only benefit enormously if CHS are competitive. Also get that CHS are more a representation of this cohort of Club footy but a step in the right direction nonetheless.

I wonder over time as cost pressures continue to rise especially in Sydney we will see more talent in these sides and other associations. Big ask if you have 3-4 kids to send them to School.

Back in the day CHS rolled everyone every now and then. Not anymore. They'll be a good side, but they won't be competitive. Between GPS and CAS and the minor associations, anyone of major note will have been poached, as you know.

Schooner Scorer Here,
Through an old friend of mine, I have gained access to the TAS team lists for the weekend in their upcoming game against Riverview 3XV. The Armidale side this year has shown promising results and pleasant improvements from previous season.

The team list is as follows -

1. Oliver Eakin
2. Henry Armstrong
3. Jack Coddington
4. Fred Glover
5. Tom Burgess
6. Flinders Ward
7. Baxter Williams
8. Daniel Emmery (C)
9. Isaac Curtis
10. Angus Swales (VC)
11. Sami Davis
12. Archie McMaster
13. Oscar Saunders
14. Ben Scarlett
15. William Hall


Good luck to both teams, I'm excited to see Round 3 results.

I'd make the argument, that kids will look to get into the Sydney and Country teams first before they commit to CHS. I don't see CHS improving anytime soon and it wouldn't surprise me if this game reaches triple digits.

I know in the u16's a number of kids have decided to go down the country pathway in hopes of making the Tahs u16 team. As was pointed out in the correspondence from Country management there are only 46 players selected to play in the regional tournament against the two Sydney teams and the NSWJRU Barbarians in Camden. So, the country kids have a 50% chance by position of making the final 23. Whereas there are 8 teams competing in schools carnival next weekend to make the 2 x NSW schools' sides that will play Sydney & Country, so there are roughly 184 kids competing for 46 positions. It should be noted that over the last 10 years 70% of the NSW schools' players have come from the GPS/CAS schools. From my experience with my own child + his mates a lot of the country kids are choosing to remain at their local school and not go to a Sydney or Brisbane boarding school because the country pathway now leads to the same destination as what the GPS/CAS kids get. The boys get to stay home and play for their clubs.
