Its not just Newington playing Aussie Rules and Soccer I suspect the reasons for calling off training, has more to do with the local council for ovals beyond the school and a duty of care if its raining. If a student gets sick the school can be held responsible. Newington has very strong...

I went to university with the Deputy Head at Shore and I don't recall seeing him or Dr Wright in the stand. At Newington, the Shore boys have also been unsupervised as well. Or maybe the boys are just left alone without Shore Staff intervening. But no School crowd is perfect, your dealing...

Yes, mass hysteria regarding group behaviour. I have noticed there is no member of staff supervising these boys. So their behaviour is unregulated. On a positive note, individually Shore boys and their parents are excellent people.

Hello QH, any news on the 13As, to date they have lost only one game and that was to Scots last week 5-10

Sorry to hear that, my experience is the complete opposite with highly sociable parents. Also the bullying is regrettable, particularly, as as Newington has a well established anti-bullying program that has existed for a number of years.In this matter I believe the Heads of House take action to...

Yes, I was at the game and Shore played a very good forwards game, using tactical kicking to gain territory and to keep the Ball away from the New Backs. As mentioned in my review of this game, Shore deserved to be winners as their forwards starved Newington of the ball. But there was nothing...

Hello QH If the 13As lost this will be their first game being beaten. But Scots are strong side in this age group having beaten Joeys 79-0 earlier in the season. New only beat Scots 19-15 last time.

Its just a pity I missed it due to work Commitments

My apologies QH, but work commitments prevent me from covering and reporting any matches. If you could do the Honours, which I am know you can do with elegance, professionalism and Objective. I am also sure some Scots supporters wouldn't be backward, particularly, if they win the match in making...

Hello Formerflanker I feel Shore should be proud of their performance despite the score. Hopefully, the experience against Newington will raise their Morale and be put to good use against Kings and View. As mentioned in my previous post about the match did not reflect Shore efforts, until the...

The 1st XV game was a remarkably tough and Difficult game for Newington despite the score. Shore started with a dominance in both possession and territory, but failed to score as Newington's defence proved more than a Match for Shore's resolute efforts in attack. However, once the New backs got...

Hello QH I have a new job and mayn't be able to make it to Northbridge this Saturday. But If I do its likely only in the afternoon. Nevertheless , If I do I hope to write a report of any major games I see.

Hello QH I presume you are tour with the boys and enjoying yourself. Its absolutely wonderful how Newington contributes to the development of this small Pacific Island. I also hope that tour discovers some wonderful boys who will benefit by being invited to study as a students at Newington...

In complete agreement with FairPlay and Balmain Stubbies, the competition is now hopelessly unrealistic in terms of presenting itself as a selection venue for the best schoolboy talent on offer. The absence of key Queensland players, together with Western Australia shows the competition to be...

He also was hampered by a knee injury, both played Australian schoolboys and started their Rugby at Newington. But Joeys offered incentives that New did not, back in those days. These days they would have stayed at Newington

Thanks

I am wondering why Western Australia are not at the Australian Schools Rugby Championship this year. Victoria is there, so I would have thought Western Australia should be there also. Any explanation would be deeply appreciated Regards Black & White
