Many, thanks Wyvernboy, Yes the 16s are a strong side, I remember when they where 13s and except for a few schools, most notably Scots, they generally, Head and Shoulders above the other schools. One would hope they maintain their skills, as Newington could have a very strong 1st XV in 2024.

Excellent report Wyvernboy. Also great to hear that 1/2 the players are returning. It would appear that New has some depth. I just wondering if you or dusk, have any A Team results. It always nice to know how the school is travelling with these teams, plus any other results if its possible...

It maybe unknown, but the Newington Cadet Corp is Co-educationl with MLC Burwood. Clearly, some of the boys will have other things on their minds, that go beyond Rugby.

1 XV Newington 48 b St.Augustines 7 2nd XV Newington about 50 b St.Augustines 0 Not Aware of other results I expected a lesser score, than the previous week against Shore, as I am sure St.Augustines as mentioned previously, have began to adjust to GPS standard Rugby. I am sure in the coming...

Hello GPS Observer Trying to predict GPS Rugby, would most likely give Nostradamus, a headache.

Please Joker gives a run down on this cuisine disaster, as I am planing to go out when New plays Kings

May it be one of great enjoyment Joker. A Word of advice, those Kings Hamburgers are usually served with Chips. So if you buy one now and eat it. My prediction is that dinner will not be needed.

Hello BP, no suggestion of the "S" word is intended at all, nor is it made. Please read again. My interest is purely professional as a former teacher. I am very impressed by the ability of the Scots Rugby Program and the School's Leadership, to create an environment where Rugby grows, so...

Hello Propsarespeedy Marvellous and Impressive, but where do Scots get so many players for their Open Division. Is there a massive intake of newly arrived boys into years 11 and 12. Or do boys previously playing soccer, make a conversion to the one true Sporting faith in Winter time.

Agreed, Soccer should have the status as the GPS Minor sport in Winter

Hello Dusk But I could not but notice 16 players unavailable, Any chance these players could form a 7th XV. Or does New feel, it is better to have ample reserves and maintain a well supported 6thXV.

Good to hear Joker, but I am led to believe the round ball game, makes a increased appearance in the open division at Joeys.

Many thanks, Dusk

Parents, particularly Old Boys will always send their boys for the Rugby, Rowing and just the sense of tradition and the identity and status it brings. Yes, they have evolve to becoming more institutions of academic excellence. But at there heart will be that sense of GPS belonging. Parents, who...

Hello Grimey I you could find Knox, most notably under Dr Ian Paterson fielding 6-7 Teams in any Age division and at least 8 in the Opens was the norm for Knox. Yes, he left the school and a later Headmaster, who seems committed to removing his legacy, for reasons I shall not go into, has...

Although it belongs on the CAS Site, could not but notice that Cranbrook, going down to the 7ths. Well done, when you consider the school, I believe, caters for about 800 boys. Hello Older Slower Yes, the current Headmaster, whom I met some years ago, is an excellent Educator and a most...

Hello Joker Regret to say, since I am somewhat touch with some aspects of Newington Rugby at present. But I do know that in 2020, most of the then 16As, were taken out of their age division and finished playing in the open division. Yet, their replacements from within that division comprising...

Many thanks dusk, I hope your HSC studies are going well. Having done both Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies, I found that the HSC was the most difficult part of my academic life. So stay focused and the, rewards shall be yours. Its a pleasure to have you on this site. Hence, my concern...

Hello Wyvern Boy Many thanks, for your prompt commentary. One commentator gave the impression that the dropout rate was chronic in the 1&2s. If boys are playing lowers grades because of academic commitments, I don't think we need to consider that, as a withdrawal from the Rugby Program. But a...

Hello WyvernBoy Lets hope his a Methodist this year. There has been a lot of banter, that Newington has experienced a significant withdrawal, of its top players from the expected 1st XV team for this year. If you have any insights they would be much appreciated Also, well done on your...
