The School advised me: "Jim - the competition has started but TAS is not part of it this year due to the Sydney schools deciding not to travel to Armidale for the TAS home games due to COVID. All going well TAS will play their three GPS away games as non-comp games - v Scots on 22 August, v High...

I have been very quiet partly because I have been moving back to Armidale. Got here a few months ago and have been settling in. I'm not sure on the rowing, TAS is participating. They have a four in the thirds, I think, AND an eight in the firsts. crikey. All the way from Malpas dam which I am...

I am cross posting this on the CAS and GPS forums. Some of you will be aware that TAS Head Murray Guest was killed in a car crash. His memorial service was this morning and TAS has posted it to youtube. Its' quite long, although the first 57 mins or so are photos of Murray. Murray went to...

Really loved this, Joker. You are indeed the king! Posted the graphic to the old Armidalian page because I thought that people would be interested. Nice to see the TAS blue there. Also nice that five schools have shared premiership honours over the seven years including two minnows. SJC should...

Thanks, INP! :) The comp is tight, but SJC have to be favoured with two rounds to go.

Scores from the bush. Thirds TAS 12 SBH 10, Seconds TAS 21 SBH 11, Firsts TAS 24, SBH 10

I wasn't going to be drawn, but nostalgia proved irresistible. Arriving at UNE I expected to play rugby and started with Wright College seconds. Then I discovered girls and warm bars. Girls v frost settling on the Uni fields? I fear I dropped out! Joker, they have just been having 90 years...

Thanks for this, INP. That makes sense. very helpful! :)

i should write something properly on this, FF (Folau Fainga'a), because there are so many issues involved. I will do so elsewhere with just a note here. Forgive me if I seem to be teaching grandmother to suck eggs. I am using your comment to make some broader points. Nine schools play GPS rugby, six in the...

The results in the thirds were SJC 26, Grammar I0, Riverview 21 High 0, Shore 12 Scots 10!, TAS 33 Kings 0. On points SJC and Riveview are both 8, TAS 6, Grammar and Scots 3, Kings and Shore 2, High 0. I haven't checked the maths on cominggames, but it's looking very interesting. SJC and iggies...

TAS 2nds won 14 to 10 v Kings 5ths TAS 1sts won 33 Nil in a reported "powerful game of outstanding team work."

I will follow up for you

From the TAS pages, he is slowly getting better. There has been some fund raising and promotion for him. Would you like me to find out the details?

Lovely Lovely story, Joker. I was in Canberra so missed all those games! You do have a bad (good!) influence though. With your role as record keeper in mind, I have been going back through the Armidalians looking at all the past results. TAS was out of the GPS comp in 85, but on those results...

TAS had a very strong team in 1985. The Armidalian records: "The 1st XV record of games for 1985 is as follows. V. St. Peters. 6 - 6 Draw V. N.E. U/18 26 - 0 Won V. St Joseph's 3 - 0 Won V. Shore 9 - 3 Won V. St Ignatius 10 - 6 Won V. Kinross 40 - 6 Won V. Cranbrook 22 - 7 Won V. Rockhampton...

I can see that point of view, I was never concussed, indeed never hurt beyond a corked leg, but it was a different game.

Partial results from the Grammar v TAS clashes. TAS 16As won I think 14-10, TAS seconds lost 24-7 in the face of a better SGS team, TAS firsts won 28-14 in a very enjoyable game. TAS has a few things to fix up before beating Joeys :) Their tackling was very good slowing the fast SGS backline -...

TAS 2nd XV v Shore 5th XV TAS 17, Shore 19 A very close strong game from both sides.
