3rd XV Round 1 Report It was a great opening round for the 3rd XV competition with some very close games. Riverview 8 def Scots 7 I watched this one and it was a great game. Scots led 7-5 with a few minutes to go and Riverview scored a penalty goal right on full time. Scots conceded too many...

Shore 57 High 0 Full round report to come.

Here are my predictions for the opening round of the 3rd XV competition tomorrow. (I posted a comprehensive 3rd XV season preview last week which I won't repost here - I'm sure you can find it!) 3rd XV Round 1 – 28 May High v Shore I expect that Shore will be far too strong for High in this...

Today Joeys teams depart for Armidale with four teams travelling and games scheduled for tomorrow: 9:00 Joeys 15B v TAS 15A 9:00 Joeys 16B v TAS 16A 10:00 Joeys 8th XV v TAS 2nd XV 11:00 Joeys 3rd XV v TAS 1st XV (first competition game) Good luck to all teams and it promises to be a great...

Knox 2nd XV 14 d Joeys 3rd XV 12 A great match and a really good hit out for Joeys 3rds before they start the GPS 3rd XV competition this Saturday against TAS.

OlderSlower & Joker, Br Bede taught me how to tackle AND taught me 4 Unit Maths. What a brilliant man he was! Incredibly fit in his later years and always able to demonstrate the correct technique to immobilise another rugby player. He was very good at giving players the confidence to make...

3rd XV Round 1 – 28 May High v Shore I expect that Shore will be far too strong for High in this opening encounter at Mackay Oval. Kings v Grammar A great opening match for the defending premiers against Kings at North Parramatta. Hard to pick, but I think that Kings are looking better on...

3rd XV Comp Preview After a year off last year, I am back with weekly commentary on the 3rd XV competition which commences on Saturday 28 May. There are 8 GPS teams competing over 7 rounds for the Col Windon Shield in 2022: Grammar 1st XV TAS 1st XV High 1st XV Scots 3rd XV Riverview 3rd XV...

I strolled down to Riverview to watch this match in the heavy rain. Riverview #1 field is suffering terribly like most fields in Sydney with massive areas of mud. Still the home team deserved the win and persisted in the poor conditions. Not much backline play to speak of, as most tries were...

You are spot on, Joker and the new AAGPS web site does not help at all. Both the fixtures and results pages are shown without individual team grades (even though you can filter by overall grade/division). For example, in the 3rd XV Results for last week it has Joeys 14 lost to High 22. Correct...

This was indeed a fascinating day of rowing. From the drone footage it was obvious that a number of crews got out of their lanes during the races. But open water rowing with a strong cross wind is a very different proposition to SIRC! Reminded me a bit of the years when the Head of the River was...

Thanks for that excellent analysis B&W. In the end my son decided to go to Joeys and had a wonderful 6 years there, but I am sure he would have had a very similar positive experience at Stanmore. He still has many close friends from his days at Newington Lindfield. Cheers INP

Greetings fellow Green & Gold Members. The question of co-education in the GPS schools is indeed a controversial one. There appears to be an underlying assumption for those in favour of it that that co-education is equally beneficial for both boys and girls. Many years ago, my son was at our...

Hey Brumbies, you were correct of course. The official AAGPS score agrees with Joeys Rugby Twitter. Serves me right for trusting Clutch TV! Cheers INP

Clutch had two converted tries to Kings. But could be wrong...

I note also that Newington won both the 15A (12-10) and 16A (21-12) games today.

The confusion (which occurs regularly) is because Joeys 3rds play in the 3rd XV comp and defeated Kings 26-14. The match at Newington was Joeys 4ths v Newington 3rds which Joeys won 22-14. INP

3rd XV - Round 2 Results Kings 31 d High 0 Shore 8 d Scots 0 Grammar 14 d Riverview 12 Joeys 30 d TAS 14 Shore edged Scots to remain undefeated. Grammar by the narrowest of margins at Riverview in what was a great game. High put up a good contest at Kings but the home side were too strong...

Not quite. It was High 1st XV who were defeated by Kings 3rds. Grammar were miles away winning at Riverview. Full report to come. INP
