New have beaten Scots in the 13As twice, both times about 40-7. So maybe New have a cracker side as well.

Good to hear Dusk, I was getting very concerned about what was happening and over reacted. Welcome back and hoped you enjoyed your holidays.

Hello INP Many thanks for providing clarity to the issue, I was under the impression that Newington had abandoned these matches. But as they playing down a team or more, it makes perfect sense and as such retract, my comments that reflected my disappointment. Yes in a perfect world it would be...

In this game, a Newington Prop was injured, with the consequence that the no pushing law was introduced

Hello Older Slower Yes, Joeys won in 1990, but is wasn't a cricket, score. 8-0 to Joeys in the GPS competition. I think the preseason result was 16-0 to Joeys. Amongst, the Joeys boys was Matt Burke and I think Peter Jorgensen. Newington had Scot Bowden. I was speaking to a former Joeys boy...

Hello Joker I as a Newington supporter, are extremely embarrassed, indeed angry, by the actions of my of my of old school in forfeiting these matches. It shows a lack of commitment, to our GPS Membership. As far as I am concerned, if Newington College cannot fulfil our GPS obligations, we must...

Excellent effort OlderSlower It is good to see this site, is going beyond 1st XV Rugby.

Hello Joker Thanks for , the insight, good to hear your boys had a successful Rugby Camp

Hello Magic Max could be difficult to predict, as Joeys 16As are constantly improving.But New put on a convincing score 26-7 against Scots who who are a strong side. New in real tough one.

Hello Wingers are slow Not getting too excited, just reading, observing and assessing the gradual improvement in Newington's performance. A few commentators on this site have been quick to write Newington off.At least one New critic has taken his leave from this site and not returned. Such...

Hello High Old Boy I feel that your comments, cannot be ruled out. Particularly, as so many on this site were happy to write New off this season. But New, I believe are on their way to big and better things.Almost nobody was predicting their win against Scots. In fact, Scots supporters were ...

Hello Joker The Joeys/New Game could prove to be, not just the match of this round, but the potential premiership decider. Yes Kings and View, are dangerous schools. But now New is coming into form, I feel Joeys and New are likely to be premiership contenders. Question, did Joeys hit their...

The improvement of rugby at Shore is good for GPS Rugby. But I suspect it goes beyond the coaching of the 1st XV. A whole school approach is needed. But, I believe the School is now headed in the right direction. Time will tell

Hello Joker, Hope you are keeping well As a Teacher ,First, that number sounds a bit like an overkill.I don't think there would be that many jobs at our independent schools, going around and being applied for.Yes, pay, holidays and working conditions are far better, than government...

Hello Dusk, If I remember, your just about right.Newington outscore Joeys with 5 tries to 4. But had a bad day Kicking. In the past both myself and Joker have commented, that the games of 2016 and 2018, proved that God was a Marist Catholic and had forsaken Us Old Methodists, when it came to...

I think 2016, where we won round One, but we lost round 2 the the return game at Stanmore, with a missed kick in front of the posts. Also,Joeys in the last minutes of the Game, kicked a massive long range goal. It broke my heart. Since then it has been bit of drought, if Remember correctly.

Hello crazy schoolboy Apologies for my bourgeoise outlook, clearly you are a passionate supporter of the proletariat. But I am not about to joint you, at the barricades any time soon. But you do remind me of some, dedicated Marxist friends, I knew at university. Keep well, we need people such...

Joker, this site without you, would would descent I believe, into humourless utterances, that would be as exiting as watching Grass grow. Keep it up, my friend.

Hello GPS Gremlin Joeys having been improving every year since they were the 13As. So I wouldn't surprise if Joeys got up over Newington. However, this Newington Cohort is a very strong one, with some great attacking backs. If the backs are able to run free, they have the potential to put a...

Hello Infamous schoolboy Please, can't you see there is element of Humour there. Further, you seen to know very little about Newington, its History, its social background and it's cliental. To me it sound's like you have embarked on a Left wing propaganda campaign, which is boring for me...
