Excellent assessment Wyvernboy, as many feel that Newington will bring an excellent backline to the competition. And yes Shore should be a real force this year in GPS Rugby. Also its great to have another Newington Supporter delivering a commentary.

But Joker, I hope both you and Lindommer, enjoyed the experience of having played Newington as GPS Boys. Even if the Scores were one sided.

Many Thanks Dusk, hopefully I will be able to organise my weekends around those venues and days.

Many Thanks Dusk, your efforts will b deeply appreciated. T Joker your sense of Humour, never fails to amaze me

Lindommer, Great to hear, you should be proud of your sporting achievements. And thank you for your kind words, to that Newington Boy. Sometimes, a kind word can do a lot for a young man's self-esteem. I am sure he will appreciate it.

Hello Dusk Great to hear from from Year 12 Student at Newington. As an Old Boy and even as a Teacher, who briefly taught at the School. I can assure you the Money your parents spend on your education at Newington, is worth every cent. This may not be apparent to you at the moment, but it will...

Great News for Shore I have suspected that Shore would be a more formable force, in schoolboy Rugby this year. As this Shore year group have been a competitive force since the 13s. In the 15As and the 16As they were the only school to beat the very strong Newington cadre of players. So it could...

I have just finished the Newington College survey. The survey was very good. It focused on a number of areas that could be very critical to Rugby at Newington. The first, was expanding the Size of Newington for boys. Here questions involved class sizes, sporting facilities and staff. The...

Hello Love2Srcum That is great to hear, the advantage I believe Newington will also bring, will be the possession of GPS Rugby Experience. Experience can count for a lot and with many of the players have played two seasons at 1st XV level. They know the intensity required of them to perform...

Hello Rippa You find the 1st and 2nds, should hold together.As many of these players have been together for 2 seasons.It will be the middle and lower open teams that are the hardest hit. But the issue is travelling after Rugby Training on week days. In my day, if I finished at 5.00pm, I could...

Hello Love to Scrum Fielding teams in the open division for Newington, has always been a most difficult task. Not least due to the absence. of a large boarding house. So if Newington can get 6-7 Teams in the open division, they will be doing well.

Well Done Joker, Your capacity for Humour on this site, is both refreshing and entertaining.

Hello Love to Scum, Agreed With most of the players having two seasons of experience, at the 1st XV level plus, the team cohesion, the match confidence, I believe also that Newington are indeed in such a position. One cannot get overconfident or arrogant, but the 2022 Cohort could prove to...

I may not support coeducation, but If I did , I would be cheering on these Amazons.

Hello Gents

Hello Older Slower, Sorry , I Might have not explained myself with clarity.I do not see co-ed in anyway boosting league at Newington. The school will remain a union school. As we demand boys entering the college that School Rugby will be their first Priority. Although I am sure we are happy to...

I have just received an email from Newington, about the Project concerning Newington"s future, as a school. Nothing has been decided. But Ideas are under consideration, In this regard the School Council is leading the charge, Not the Headmaster,He may be tasked to visit a number of schools that...

Hello love to scrum Yes, with the majority having between them, two seasons of having played 1st XV GPS Rugby. They also have a record of dominating tis age group. Hopefuly, this Newington age group will reproduce their skills, strength and speed previously displayed. But as shown in the past...

hello,Props are speedy Yes, I got the impression that Joeys have improved, since the 13s. Newington actually did beat them 42-0 in the 13s, 26-7 in the 14s and about 14-10 in the 15s. Newington did mange a close 19-15 win over this very strong Scots side in the preseason, but were beaten 10-5...

Hello Older Slower and Props are Slower If my memory serves me correctly, both Newington and Scots had excellent U13s, back them. Because of events, I lost contact with this age group. Did Newington maintain its excellence. I also believe Joeys were struggling in this age group. Any up dates...
