4 tries each at Stanmore, goal kicking the difference in the end. A game of contrasting styles with Newington relying largely on speed out wide, while Scots graft through the forwards. Newington seemed to lose their composure and structure in the 2nd half, while the Scots machine just kept...

Just get in early. I missed out last year.

Match of the round for me is Newington v Scots. Both sides have plenty to play for - Scots to set up a grand final playoff with Joeys in the last round, while a Newington victory would give them a shot at a joint title. Newington by 7 Joeys have been consistently good all year, but the...

They could use St Lukes for training. If they want half decent facilities in the general area for games their options include: Belmore Sports Ground Marrickville Oval Drummoyne Oval

Newington College was the first school to play rugby back in 1869 with a twenty-a-side game against Sydney University on Newington’s home ground at Silverwater. https://insites.newington.nsw.edu.au/sport/winter-sport/rugby/ Interestingly the original Newington College building from 1863...

In the future I tend to think that elite sports organisations will run multiple sports for a number of reasons. Once people get beyond the parochial and the emotional it provides the most efficient and economic use of very expensive resources. There are examples of this which have existed on...

Scots relish tough assignments, they'll be there with their A game. Hopefully the Newington boys will prevail.

150 years of Newington rugby, last home game of the season, Back to Newington Day (mandatory attendance for the whole school) and a cracking day of rugby. What more could anyone ask for? I'm told the Tongans have been told to order an extra pig after running out last year (I'm one of the ones...

I'm not sure that Wests are on the way out. The article talks about match day facilities for local sporting teams - which I assume includes Wests, and Wests are mentioned at the end of the article as well. Clearly the Tigers are going to be the priority as it will contain a high performance...

Should be a great game on Saturday at Stanmore. Scots always formidable and as they've shown are able to come from behind and snatch late wins. Newington have played well in all 3 GPS games, a big win over Shore to blow out the holiday cobwebs and a very good win against Kings last term. The...
