Death Valley had a rare day off Knox 41 Waverley 0

Half time 1sts Knox 19 Waverley 0 Knox 2nds won 38-22

Can't wait for the next "Fight of the Century" at Death Valley this Saturday. All it needs now is dear old Gordon Bray talking about the Ref being "the 34 year old amateur marbles player from Wagga Wagga".

The ASRU website states Waverley 29 Knox 18 Cranbrook 14 Barker 13 Trinity 12 Aloysius 3. Possible contender this year the Knox number 6 (Swinton). Any other nominations?

A combination of the vocal Waverley crowd and foreboding physical surrounds sees many visiting teams meet their maker

1sts Knox 48 Barker 10

The Knox teams had a tough workout against Christchurch Boys' High, currently rated number 4 in NZ and best in the South Island. Don't have the scores, but they won the 16as and lost in the 1sts and 2nds. They also sat in on a Crusaders training session and attended the Crusaders vs Highlanders...

It's a pity they don't play many trial matches anymore. The benchmark when I was at school was always to beat or get close to Joeys

Last time CAS prevailed was 2009, when they had a strong team including Nic Stirzaker and Tom Kingston and won 33-31. 2nds also close, 26-20 to GPS. Unlikely these days until Scots and New run out of money

There were 9 schools in GPS last time I counted. Are you saying that players from Grammar, High and TAS aren't eligible for GPS representation?

That's why GPS "flogged" CAS 29-14. 9 schools vs 6

Harry Jones was at Kings in 2012

Waverley 24 Barker 11

Agreed. It will be a real case of the Professionals vs the Amateurs
