AICES faces a huge battle and will always do so. It is also a lifeline for the many independent country schools who previously played with NSW Country schoolboys. The 2016 AICES championships with have 5 teams competing in each age group which is an increase. However, these squads can sometimes...

AICES schools as said above are small. Generally, you have a passionate rugby staff member who toils, often with little to no help to keep the code alive. It is particulary hard in certain areas of the state where the clubs have virtually gone extinct. There are some amazing staff members at...

AICES U16 gave GPS 2 a huge scare today after going out to a 15 - 7 lead. Tries were scored by Kyle, Harrison and Liam in a length of the field blinder! Unfortunately they couldn't hold on especially with Lakopo off with a bad concussion. GPS 2 grounded out a victory but the selectors and the...

The revival rolls on for AICES. The U16 boys took on the might of CHS 1 and 2 today at the championships. The first game was a mess for both squads involved. Some interesting refereeing decisions and a terrible lopsided penalty count to CHS made it hard enough but simple errors such as missing...

Tough day today! AICES go down 47 - 20 in a tough encounter against ISA 2. They were missing two of their best players in Michael Yarham(concussion) and Henry Fuimaono(didn't turn up) which made life harder. Their enthusiasm was evident though and the first 10 minutes was fast and hard. The boys...

Was at the trials today and was just amazed at the class difference between the divisions. Being an AICES follower i was happy with the improvement shown by this young division. They lost two of their best from last Sunday(Fuimoano and Yarham) yet most of them gave it a red hot go against ISA...

Henry Fuimaono is an absolute powerhouse. He would be a worthy addition to the NSW Schools team and hopefully with the improved performance from AICES schools he and others will be noticed by the selectors. I have never seen Henry have a quiet game. Looking forward to seeing what he and the rest...

CHS II 10 AICES 5 was the other result. The 15 from the CCC U16 squad was a joy to watch. Agility, footwork and decision making was top class. Look forward to seeing him play again next weekend

There is also some cracking quality coming through the u16's, especially in the forwards. AICES rugby will get stronger in 2016 and continue to build. The camp was a great addition and it looked like the u16's really benefited from being together for some time. The opens had some really high...

16's in for a big match at u16 championships taking on CHS 1 first up! What a great challenge. looking forward to it!

if you have a look at the CAS 2nd XV you will notice ex AICES player Pernal Filipo. he played for 2 years with AICES - the first with the u16's as a centre, then again in the u16's as number 8. Now he's a prop! Well done to Pernal!

other stuff to bring to attention The open AICES team has a scrum half who made the U17 NSW Gold team- Ben Shelley from the central coast

the 16's are not playing this weekend (31st). their first game is on the 14th June.

well, while he is not playing grade. I can assure you that Dane did play for the Illawarra U18 squad last year as an u17 player at the NSW Country champs in the Shoalhaven and performed extremely well.

Ben Shelley - scrum half Ryan McCracken - number 8 Michael Yarham - number 10

Michael Yarham also played in the SJRU 17's last year
