3rd XV Competition- Round 2 Results Joeys 24 d High 5 Riverview 19 d Scots 10 Grammar 19 d Kings 12 TAS 7 d Shore 5 Riverview and Joeys consolidate at the top of the table with two wins each. Grammar stays in touch with a win and a draw. TAS jumps up the table to join Kings with one win and...

The competition draw will also play a big part (as it always does). The first two rounds before the holidays could be significant. Joeys play Newington at Stanmore in Round 1. Then Shore at Hunters Hill in Round 2. Riverview open with Kings at Lane Cove, then Scots at Bellevue Hill. A tough...

You are correct. Joeys 2nds are playing Kings 2nds at Hunter Hill. Trinity 2nds are playing Joeys 6ths Trinity 3rds are playing Joeys 9ths.

Absolutely true. Riverview are right in it and they should not be underestimated. Let's hope their goal posts stay up this year.

Great idea. 3rd XV Comp - Round 2 Scots v Riverview @ Bellevue Hill This should be a great contest with Scots coming off a draw to Grammar meeting Riverview after their good win over Shore. Grammar v Kings @ Weigall Another clash of two undefeated teams with Grammar at home again after...

It may not be a blowout. Cranbrook beat Grammar by 60. Joeys 3rds beat Grammar by 30. Aloysius beat Joeys 3rds by 35. So...

No you did not - it was someone else. But it's all good and we should carry on.

My Armidale correspondent tells me it was a great day of rugby yesterday for the Joeys visit. Perfect weather and some quality rugby played throughout the morning. Joeys took the honours in the main game after some good early tries with TAS fighting hard and showing some form in the second half...

Thanks, I do appreciate the advice. It's a bit hard to know if someone is joking when they refer to you as "annoying, arrogant and one-eyed" but I take your point and will not take it too seriously. :)

Thanks Quick Hands. Great stories indeed. Yes, Joeys supporters are passionate about Joeys rugby, but most understand that success is a result of hard work, discipline, commitment, teamwork, passion, excellent coaching and most importantly school support. It is not bestowed by divine...

This Saturday is the first competition round of the GPS 3rd XV Competition. Eight teams the same as last year - they will play each other once over seven rounds. 1st XVs from Grammar, High & TAS; 3rd XVs from Joeys, Kings, Riverview, Scots & Shore. (New 3rds don't play in this comp). Round 1...

Mate, as a new member I promise to be a fair, balanced and constructive contributor to this excellent forum.

Now if I was really Joker, I would respond to those doubting the defensive ability of the Joeys team. I would launch into a long story on the history of defence at Joeys and the wonderful Br Bede who taught many boys to tackle with perfect technique, demonstrating how to use the momentum of the...

So just for the record, I am not Joker, even though I did quote Joeys stats from last year.

Fair enough, Wristman. That's what predictions are all about. It should be a great game regardless.

Wrecka you are correct that Aloys 1sts dominated Joeys 3rds in that game and it was an excellent performance from Aloys as I have previously noted. I think they could surprise in the CAS comp but they will be up against some top sides in Waverley and Knox. I think you have possibly jumped the...

Agree. From the competition draw, the Joeys v Scots game will be in the final round of the GPS competition at Hunters Hill so should be a classic in all grades.

Trinity are not the only school with injuries and a shortage of Open grade front row forwards. Better uncontested scrums than serious injuries.

Fair enough Wristman. Joeys won the premiership last year with Points For = 167 and Points Against = 133 from five matches so averaged about 33 points scored per match and 27 points against per match. Agree that teams need good defence, but if you are consistently scoring more than your...
