@Hugh Jarse thanks for the heads up. I am still learning to "drive" this camera so any time someone gets some use or some fun out of the results is a real buzz.

Match report for the U17 grand final posted at: http://www.rugbywa.com.au/NewsEvents/NewsArticles/tabid/905/ArticleID/11289/Western-Australia-wins-Junior-Gold-Cup-final.aspx This was an absolutely fantastic final. 2 really talented and committed teams. I have attached a few photos below...

Rebelcane - Hugh Carpenter has already indicated U17 final will be in Perth or Melbourne with cost being the determining factor. Tahspark - WA has certainly improved since U16's Nat's but I have no doubt Vic will have done the same. WA was a bit flat last time the sides met which led to a 1...

U17 - WA 23 Bris Purple 8. Very tough, physical game played in wet, wintry conditions. WA looked in control for the better part of the game but Brisbane started to match the intensity in the last 15, launching attack after attack and forcing desparate defence from the locals. Really enjoyable...

TC, it would be interesting to know whether the coaches had some instruction about such things as playing time. I was told by one of the Bris coaches that he was trying to give players some kind of balance, including giving all players an opportunity to be in the run on team. This meant he was...

Top Cat, I am sorry to hear that not all centres have had a positive experience. I was an accompanying parent on the WA tour of QLD and made a point of talking with as many parents as possible on opposing teams. The overwhelming sentiment in Pool D seemed to be that JGC was a positive...

I don't think JGC is the equivalent of u16s Nationals. The competitions achieve completely different ends. U15 JGC overcomes at least some of the issues associated with GPS domination and the development of players outside the heartland and leads beautifully into u16s Nationals. Similarly 17...

Wow, that is a real shame. Did the email justify the decision.

Hopefully 2015 JGC can have more night games. WA played 4/5 night games which were obviously much easier on the boys and made for a fantastic atmosphere, with large crowds attending. Playing day games in Feb/March is a bit tough.

WA finished it's grueling campaign tonight against Brisbane Orange. U15's finished with a comfortable win (I didn't get the final score) to go 3 and 2. Both losses were heart breakers so it was good for the boys to finish on a high note. U17's had a very tough encounter, particularly after...

Just about as a broad a geographic coverage as you could manage if that plays out! I guess you could swap Cairns for Brisbane Purple to spread the thing out still further ... BUT ... still a lot of rugby to go. The ARU have not always got things right in recent times :oops: but I have to say...

Tonight's results from Gold Coast: U15 Gold Coast 12 defeated WA 6. Winning try minutes from time to inflict WA's second heart breaker in 2 days. U17 Gold Coast 5 defeated by WA 15. GC played 35 minutes with 14 men after a red card in the first half. Would have been really close if both...
