3rd XV Comp - Round 7 – The Final Preview Of course most interest will be on the 1st XV game for the premiership, but I include this preview for my loyal readers :-) Joeys v Scots @ Hunters Hill Joeys already has at least a share of the 3rd XV premiership following their 45-12 win over...

Yes these were both massive crowds. But even the Joeys v Riverview crowd two weeks ago was ridiculous. People five or six deep on the road. Fences collapsing under the weight of spectators. Not a blade of grass free for viewing. Expect the same this week.

Agree FootyGuy - I was there at both games and great comebacks from Joeys. My observation was more about protecting the lead if you get in front of Scots. They will keep coming until the final bell!

Nobody would bet against you Wristman. No lead is safe from the Scots 1st XV. Just ask Riverview, Kings, Newington... Should be a great day and looking forward to every minute.

Yes Ace I noticed that as well. In the 1970s, the seconds wore the standard jersey with numbers. They did wear the banded socks though.

Great table Joker. You are the King.

I think that's one for Joker to determine in The Archives Certainly no school has won all three premierships in the same year since the 3rd XV comp restarted in 2012. Scots and Joeys have won two out of three on a few occasions. Year 1st XV 2nd XV 3rd XV 2012 NC, SJC, SJC 2013 NC/TSC, SJC...

What a day of rugby it will be next Saturday at Hunters Hill. In the 1sts it's winner take all and a draw will be a shared premiership between Joeys and Scots. No other schools are close enough to figure in this. In the 2nds, Joeys already has at least a share of the premiership. If Joeys win...

How impressive was this. Well done Kings for demonstrating great sportsmanship.

Fair enough. Appreciate any updates from Stanmore through the afternoon. In the 2nds at Parramatta Kings 15 Joeys 7 early in the 2nd half

Full time in the 3rds at Parramatta Joeys 45 Kings 12

Wristman! Where have you been? Some optimistic black & white claims made in your absence. I recall that you tipped Newington to beat Joeys in Round 1 and they gave Joeys a real scare in the first half. So I expect this will be a similar scenario. Promises to be a fantastic game and I wish I...

Thanks for the Joeys team lists JCL. Just a couple of typos I think - It's Dom Moretti and Pat Turnbull. Joeys will miss the injured Bokenham at 8 but O'Kane is a brilliant replacement and Hickey comes into the team as a very experienced flanker. Disappointing also the Maddinson is out injured...

3rd XV Comp - Round 6 Well, it’s the business end of the season with only two rounds to go. Kings v Joeys @ Gowan Brae Following their 17-7 win over Riverview last week, Joeys remain undefeated with two rounds to play. They travel to Kings for their last away game and while Kings have not...

Thanks, Quick Hands. I knew you would know the answer :-)

Great photo Joker. With Bokenham off the field, Louis gives the message to the Joeys forward pack. A great performance to come back in the second half.

Hey Jim, congratulations on TAS winning all three grades at home. Four wins in a row for the TAS 1st XV. Joeys 3rds were able to overcome a strong Riverview team 17-7 today at Hunters Hill but the competition remains very tight. Cheers INP.

Yes Quick Hands a reminder of an unbelievable day at Riverview last year. I recall that the combined points difference in 1st, 2nd and 3rd XV comp games was exactly zero (28-25, 19-19, 7-10) and the Joeys 16As won 10-8. It really doesn't get any closer than that and when it comes to Joeys v...

While most attention will naturally turn this week to Round 3 of the 1st XV and 2nd XV competitions, I have included my preview of the 3rd XV comp for those who are interested. 3rd XV Comp - Round 5 Joeys v Riverview @ Hunters Hill Finally, the two undefeated teams meet at Hunters Hill in a...

I agree, Number 7. I think that Shore is improving rugby strength overall, despite some disappointing early results from the 1st XV. One Eyed Pirate makes a very good observation however around "all year sports". It used to be the case that all GPS boys played their summer sport, then all boys...
