Always a great game against Pius. Tough buggers that don't quit

This thread will go nowhere with well reasoned, informative comment CT and JP!

Yes for most part you'd think so. If I had to choose I'd say Oakhill will want to dominate and when things get ugly, I think they'll find another level. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but I would make mention of the passing of Andrew Wisemantel. Undoubtedly the boys will want to...

Yyyyep - I get all my ISA news from the CAS site! :)

Brilliant - I'll ammend

Having a quick look at that schedule and you've got to say that Stannies are going all in on their trial fixtures. Scots, Joeys, Barker, Waverley and Cranbrook! I hope they can navigate their way through that in one piece. If they do, they'll be battle hardened by the end of it.

Pre-season games are now up at CAS and GPS websites. I'll post ISA-centric draws in a moment

Quick story from another sport: This club was struggling with securing volunteers. Their junior program was suffering as there was nobody to fill bottles, pick up gear, coach younger teams etc. Club was losing numbers across all ages and abilities. Club introduced a "+ 1 thing" policy for...

I think the point is well made. That Knox is a larger program than other CAS schools and can compete on team numbers in a like for like scenario :)

Has anyone caught wind of any trial fixtures yet?

That season that Kinross had (either last year of the year before) where they kept losing by narrow margins must have been a struggle. I went to watch them play Pats last year and thought they were a quality outfit - better than what their scores would indicate - so it must have been very...

I dont think we'll ever see it. From my understanding, the Canberra comp involves both school and club teams and is pretty well supported. It would be a brave sports master to suggest that his players need to leave Canberra at 5:30am every second Saturday - longer if they were going to Bathurst...

Yes I used to work out there at one of those schools. generally it was a junior, intermediate and senior team and not every school could field all three. Small but eager!

Rugby league and Rugby 7s is taking a solid tranche of female players out of the game, but not half of all participants though. Its a drop of about 200k players. Ovid can be blamed for some of that but certainly not all of it.

Touch Football has lost half of all participants since 2017
