All the best B & W and look I look forward to your postings from afar. Any Newingtonian you care to nominate/offload to?

Now that is funny!

Sounds like a perfect resume to write the match reports for GPS matches each week B & W!.

Black & White said: ↑ With 21 players in year 11, for either 1st or 2nd XV they are investment for 2018. There was always a feeling that 2017 would be a lean year for our 1st XV despite some promising results against SIC W29-20 and KGS 29-17. Hence, I believe Newington will have the potential...

B&W any early form guide or update on Newington for 2018? Please have a go at naming a starting side.

Head coach has been appointed https://www.schoolsrugby.com.au/2018/news/australian-schools-team-head-coach-appointed/ Has caused much consternation and Alan Jones has weighed in (refer post #6) AJ makes a few good points (never thought I would ever say that) but I suspect it wont lead to any...

in 2017 10 boys were returning from Aust School Boys (ASB) and Barbarians (BARB) Selections in 2016. In 2018 by my count 7 are returning from 2017. Can anyone verify or fill in any blanks? 1 Angus Bell ASB (NSW) 2 Jack Winchester (BARB) (edit) 7 Luca Moretti BARB (NSW) 10 Campbell Parata...

Alright Gents, I believe this is the trial programme for TAS, High and Grammar 24 Mar: Sydney Grammar Tens Tournament 7 Apr: Grammar V St Pats, rest internals 5 May: Grammar V St Aloysius, High V Riverview, TAS V Kinross Wolaroi 12 May: TAS V Grammar, High V St Pius 19 May: Grammar V St...

Could be a very close competition. Make one mistake and your premiership year could be gone! Joeys beat Scots well in the trials last year but were well beaten in the main event. Joeys also were leading against Kings to then lose by 4. On form and based on who is returning from all schools, no...

With 2 rounds of summer sport and Head of the River to go, Lindomner and One eyed pirate are counting the sleeps to the start of the trial season! Thus far the key board warriors of G and G have drafted possible starting First XV line ups for Shore, Scots and Joeys for the 2018 season. Would...

Hi Jim Happy New Year! Similar format to 2017, they have expanded the trial period to include some ISA schools with CAS. 2018 Draw available in GPS website http://aagps.nsw.edu.au/winter-sports/rugby/ 3rds still 7 round comp 1sts and 2nds 5 Round Looks like selections for association rep teams...

Here's a possible Joeys 1st XV (2017 year/team/rep in brackets) Have bracketed a few but no doubt others would be well in contention! 1 Jack Dolan Yr 11/3rds 2 Julian Heaven Yr 11/1sts/GPS Blue 3 Nick Jones Yr 10/2nds/Aust U16 Merit 4 Jet Williams Yr 11/2nds 5 Hugh Bokenham Yr 10/2nds/Pres A 6...

Hi Rugby Bloke Yep this one was a bolter! (if its the same kid) Brett Wellington was in year 11 at Scots College this year. In 2016 represented NSW U16. In 2017 selected in NSW AAGPS 2nds. Was not selected for NSW Schools (may have been injured?) A strong hard running centre/loose forward...

The U17 7s NSW State Championships are on this weekend 14th and 15th of October at Narrabeen Academy of Sports. From these Championships a squad will be selected to represent NSW at the Nationals in Brisbane Dec 8-10. Does anyone have a draw for the event this weekend? Do we know who is...

I thought the stand outs for Australian Schoolboys over the two matches were: Lachlan Lonergan. Played a classic Hookers game and will be one to watch Will Harrison, Led well and covered a lot of territory in defence. Tom Kibble, Made an impact when he came on and worked well with Rorke Charlie...

Lost against Kings in Rnd 2 15-3 and lost against Riverview on Round 5 21 - 15. Won all other matches. Think they would have finished 3rd. For Joeys 16A undefeated 15A Won 3 lost 2 14A Won 4 lost 1 13A Won 4 lost 1

I believe the results were as follows but happily stand corrected 13A s Newington 14A s Kings 15A s Kings (?) 16A s Joeys 2nd Scots Ists Scots

MD you wouldn't be the first and you wont be the last to make that observation. Likewise how on earth Pavlakis wasn't selected beggars belief.o_O . One seriously has to wonder how much form counted for in the championships and selections. Sadly suspect that selectors had their teams...

He has the talent but a long way to go. After all he is only 18 and he plays in the forwards so wont mature for quite a while. Given his lack of height (relative to elite level back rowers), I would expect that he most likely will need to move to the front row. In 3 years time we will be in...

The problem IMHO for Shore is the sum of a number of factors; poor coaching (in previous years) which has been addressed and looks to be on the right track. Shore U14s age group were strong this year and augurs well for the future. year round rowers. Has taken talented fit kids away from...
