As Matthew Burke noted in commentary a few times: why are the Wallabies trying to run the ball out from their own line (when the AB defence is organised) when Hodge can boot the ball 50 metres downfield for a lineout? It's all very well to want to attack at every opportunity, but attacking...

It's at least a yellow card every day of the week. Putting your arm out to stop your head/shoulder hitting the ground doesn't change anything. With all we know about concussions and neck injuries, it's bizarre that anyone would argue that this tackle is penalty only.

You couldn't script that finish.

That's correct. 14Bs had a couple of early losses, but finished with wins over Riverview, Joeys, Kings and had a bye today. 14C only lost 2 games all season (both to Scots) 13As only lost one game this season against Joeys at Hunter's Hill. 15As made great strides, close loss to Shore...

Always:)

Joeys break the longest 1st XV premiership drought in their history - hope the real drought follows suit. Also a while (2009) since Kings have won. In celebration of another fine year of GPS rugby (including the mighty Newigton 14s), I've just had a few glasses of a 2007 Burgundy (last time...

Didn't see the 14A game as it was on the same time as seconds. Newington fairly convincing winners from what I hear - Shore by no means disgraced. Shore and Joeys have provided two really hard fought victories for the Newington 14As. Looking forward to some equally hard fought clashes in...

Progress from lane cove? Getting dark at my place

Half time at Stanmore Newington 21-0 running into the wind

Out of interest Jim, do one of Shore or TAS wear some sort of alternate strip when they play each other? Their usual playing uniforms are almost identical.

Well done mate. 2001 2nds was Kings. 2000 2nds ???

Newington Year 7 boys raised $6,700 for Buy a Bale at Back to Newington Day. P & F will be making a similar donation from the day.

3 year 10s in the Newington firsts this year.

Joeys were indeed the last winners of the 1st incarnation of the 3rds competition back in 1961, and yes they did win 6 in a row - although 3 of the 6 were joint premierships (including one 3 way tie). One thing that I have noted from going back to the records is that up until WW2, no one...

The points table and for and against suggest that Joeys and Riverview are clearly the best two teams in the 3rds competition. Joeys haven't been particularly dominant in 3rds since the competition started in 2012 2012 - SJC 2013 - TAS 2014 - SGS/TAS/TSC 2015 - SJC 2016 - TAS 2017 - SJC...
