Aloys 57 Oakhill 7 The Pats/Aloys game next will show whether Oakhill played badly or Aloys are hot.

Yeah. After watching the game I definitely felt that Pat's didn't really show up today. Lots of simple errors in offense and defense. The improved scrum is the main positive of the game. Will have to have a good week at training before heading up to Tyneside next week.

This week's Trial Fixtures are: Oakhill vs Aloys SPC vs Joey's 3rd XV Auggies vs Newington 1st XV Pius vs Newington 3rd XV Riverview 1st XV vs Kinross 1st XV Riverview 2nd XV vs Stannies 1st XV Gregs vs Grammar

I agree that this weekend's games in the Central West will be very interesting indeed. Quite surprised that Riverview 1s are playing Kinross 1s and Stannies 1s are playing Riverview 2s. Based on form it would make more sense the other way around. Nevertheless, it shows some confidence in the...

I can confirm the Pius 1s lost to High 41-17. They will be playing Newington 3rds this weekend. This result makes me think Pius could be in for a tough year, especially playing in the top grade. While the top two spots are pretty much certain to be decided between Auggies and Stannies, the...

The full ISA Div 1 draw has been uploaded to the website FYI I have linked a copy.

Gee, I did! Honest mistake haha

That would be correct - about time they did too. It means the ISA Div 1 draw will consist of: Pats Kinross Auggies Pius Gregs Stannies Kinross 6 games for each team + a bye. Back like the good old days.

I have heard a rumor that Pius lost to High on the weekend but I am yet to hear the score? Can anyone confirm this? The results of the trials so far have me thinking that Stannies have to be favorites with Auggies very close behind them - the game between those two will decide the ISA...

26-10 Cranbrook

Completely agree, it will be a very tough game by any stretch of the imagination. A good result for SPC is no injuries so they are fresh for Aloys next week. That is sure to be a fantastic game, Death Valley is known to be unkind to visiting teams.

Apart from SPC vs Barker, what other trials are the ISA schools competing in this weekend?

Trinity got up in the 1s 24-0 SPC won the 2s 20-14 While I'm sure the boys in black would be disappointed with that performance, there were a lot of positives to take from the game, such as the team's ability to consistently hold Trinity back through continuous raids in Pats' 22 while at times...

I couldn't agree more. Hopefully, they provide the go-forward they need to move up the field. Yep, they are contesting the Black & Green Shield - unlike previous years there will be no games in Tennis or Soccer so it will be all up to the Rugby in order to retain it. Should be interesting!

While I haven't seen them play too many times the boys from SPC are shaping up to be a lot more physical and aggressive this year, especially in the forwards. They have got some size now (something that has been lacking in previous years) that should allow for some good contests to come. They...

With the first full round of trial fixtures coming up this Saturday, who is playing who? I know SPC are playing local rivals Trinity at Breen. Sure to be a great match but I suspect the 1s will be rusty considering they only got back from North America on Sunday.

Kings 2s beat Kinross - 59-5 Kings 1s beat Kinross - 55-12 (From the GPS thread)

I agree that it is way too early to draw assumptions based off one trial in hot weather. In saying this, a lot of the players that were pivotal to Stannies success last season have since left the school while the Auggies team last year had a strong Yr 11 contingent. Will definitely make for...

Thanks for making the thread, Jim. I am looking forward to the season ahead. It will be interesting how the return to the traditional draw will play out. Auggies have to be favorites this season as it seems Stannies are nowhere near as strong this year. I am keen to see how Oakhill will...

I'd love to hear the scores around the grounds in what was the last round of the ISA season for 2017. I finished the season in beautiful Bathurst as the champion team that is the Stannies 1st XV claimed the ISA shield without losing a game, a fantastic effort. For Pats, it was a season of...
