Suspect that Shore are quietly confident about 16As and 15As tomorrow. Both games will be on the main field this year. In the corresponding fixture 2 years ago the 16A game was played on the back field near Sailors Bay Rd and the 15As was a Shore withdrawal. (Shore organised a make-up fixture...

I've been away for a week or so. Tips for this week. The match of the round sees the always under-estimated Riverview against the never under-estimated Joeys. I suspect that there will be a lot of loud loons around Jacks' so Joker could be hard to find. Joeys by 7 Lambo has had the Scots...

Memories of Eastwood beating Wests at Concord would have to be long term memories.;)

That's how I remember things too. And just to make sure my memory isn't playing tricks of me, a little research shows: 19 May 2018 - Wests def Eastwood 27-24 at TGM 14 July 2018 - Wests def Eastwood 33-26 at Concord...

Local derby round this Saturday - assume that 7Two will be at Rat Park? West Harbour v Eastwood Concord Oval Southern Districts v Sydney University Forshaw Rugby Park Eastern Suburbs v Randwick Woollahra Oval Northern Suburbs v Gordon North Sydney Oval Warringah v Manly Pittwater Rugby Park...

Well said. In fact most of the boys who come over to Newington never play 1sts rugby or even in an A team. One of the boys in Year 12 last year won a Premier's Award for a DT project. When these boys go back to Tonga (before or after going on to university in Australia) they make a major...

Hi B&W, unfortunately I'm not there but if you (or anyone else) are on instagram, you can look at some of the events. For me the singing of the Tongan boys is amazing. Their choir wouldn't be out of place at the Vatican or Westminster Abbey. https://www.instagram.com/nctours_official/...

News from Newington 15s rugby/service learning tour of Tonga, Newington College def Tupou College 19-15. Plenty of fencing done and friendships made.:) Pig on the spit for Sunday dinner.:)

Few sporting organisations in Australia can complicate the simple like rugby can.

He was excellent in the 20s

Meanwhile, Newington 15s have just departed on a rugby and service learning tour to Tonga. Two games of rugby and the boys will also be fencing the school farm to keep the pigs out. Tupou College is largely self-sufficient so the boys there eat what they grow most of the time. A shipping...

It's purpose would be to capitalise on the support of the clubs in their local community, while at the same time filling a void. You wouldn't do it if it was going to cost the teams money. If it can't be funded by sponsors or broadcasts (7two) or RA/state RUs then you wouldn't do it. Rugby...

This is one of the biggest things which hold Australian rugby back. (other than the administration but we'll leave that discussion for elsewhere)

Not kidding. The Sydney diocese of the Anglican church is different from the rest of the Church in Australia, people are promoted and/or appointed these days on the basis of religious affiliation first and foremost.

Interestingly, he's apparently the brother-in-law of the new Headmaster at Kings.

Enrolments are a huge problem for Shore. Demand far outstrips supply for a finite number of positions. No matter who the registrar is they won't be able to solve the problem. Technically sons of OBs get till the boy's 1st birthday to apply, but all this does is put them ahead of the sons of...

But it's not intended as a replacement.

From the AAPGS archives Shore results: 2014 - 2 wins, 1 draw, 7 losses (the draw was with SJC, wins over Riverview and Kings) 2015 - 0 wins, 0 draws, 10 losses 2016 - 1 win, 0 draws, 9 losses (win over Riverview) 2017 - 0 wins, 0 draws, 5 losses 2018 - 0 wins, 0 draws, 5 losses Think they...

In the space of 3 years, AFL at Newington has gone from 0 teams to 3 teams. It's a problem.
