The inclusion of Lebanese boys was told to me by a respected member of staff. It was said with a sense of pride to Newington's Multi cultural demographics. I cannot provide any statistics, other that Rugby numbers are growing. For many years Newington could only expect to raise 5 Teams in the...

Another, issue is Newington has a very small boarding house and limited depth in the older age groups, particularly, the open division. Whereas, the other schools benefit from greater depth, that has matured and developed as Rugby players and resides in their significantly larger boarding...

Hopefully, they will reunite in the 1st XV for 2020.2020 will be significant year for both Newington and Kings, as it is the 150th anniversary of the first game of Schoolboy Rugby played in Australia, starting with these two schools. One would hope that both schools celebrate this event with...

Thanks RH, with our 1st XV struggling, other results even 13A results can provide New supporters such as myself some happiness.

Hello QH any U/13 results, particularly 13As who have been travelling well

Thanks QH it explains their performances and gives hope for the future over the coming years.

Thanks QH for those results, they brighten up what is clearly a most disappointing 1st XV effort. I don't know what is going wrong with our firsts I thought they had the players and experience to make themselves a force in GPS Rugby for 2018. Clearly, something is lacking, I wonder what. But...

I have not seen New play this year, but going on styles of play over the last couple years I would expect New would have a advantage if the ground is a bit wet and they play wet weather Rugby based around a hard physical dominance through their forward pack. However, their backline by all...

Its a byproduct of child protection laws and it occurs not just at Rugby matches regarding photographers, but more so at swimming carnivals. Even parents, have been regulated at sports events, as to what they can film or photograph. Such is the world we live in 2018.

My understanding is that the Tongan community is a very close one and in a school that values a multi-cultural inclusion, it is this closeness that might be evident.

Excellent work Piglet and I thank you for a most detailed and enjoyable report. I don't think Trinity will be the only team to be on the receiving end of Newington's coming of age. They may not be favourites, but after today they should be a force, in the GPS Rugby Competition. As such any...

Great to see that Newington A teams are travelling well to date. Yes, they are yet to met their fellow GPS counter-parts who will raise the standard of play for these teams. QH and SM correct if I am wrong, but by memory the 13As and 14As are undefeated and both have amassed some big scores...

The frustration from a Newington viewpoint is the side was not short of talent. Nor is it short of experience with some 21 players returning from last year with 1st and 2nd experience. On top of that, both the 15As and 16As had talent players able to move into the open division. QH indicate...

Many thanks, Come on Ref

Hello, Come on Ref, Do you have the final score for the 1sts and 2nds, Many thanks if they could be provided

According to Piglet on the CAS site, Newington running red hot over Trinity. 8 Tries to 1, As stated in an earlier post this Newington side is a far better team than results indicate.

Hello again Piglet, Is twinkle toes a large Pacific Islander lad.

Hello Piglet, do you have 3rds and 2nds results for the Newington? Trinity games. Also 13As would also be appreciated. Many thanks if you can. Regards Black & White PS,That Prop you described, might be Angus Bell, 2017, Australian Schoolboy rep. But I read On this site he might not be playing.

Many thanks Quick Hands,Great results with our A Teams, Hopefully the 13As will continue the success. Let's hope the 1st XV can put it together against Trinity. I am somewhat amazed that this year's First's is performing so badly. Do you have any insights as to their poor performance. By all...
