I didn't think many clubs or reps fielded u16 teams

As Riverview play in year groups, are you saying 7 x year 10 boys?

Perfect, 450 extra Shore boys to spit on the homeless.

It may be a good opportunity to think up a few of their own war cries, rather than copying everyone else's.

I'm not sure country cricket is as strong at it used to be. Only three country boys in the Joeys 1st XI, and one in the 2nds.

I think you'll find that the Joeys u15s losses to Riverview in the As and Bs weren't relate to the cattle. It was mainly due to the outdated pod structure that left the rucks open to a pilfer-fest for the Riverview boys. After persisting with the tactic through the 14s and 15s you would hope...

I note from a post from May 2024 that since 1904 only two cohorts didn't see either a 1st or 2nds premiership. They were 1914 and 1917.

1892 to 1917 or as Grammar calls them, "the glory years". They would have won 90% of their rugby and cricket premierships in that period.

From what i can see on google, 2030 it will be the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the most recent Grammar Wallaby Captain or Test cricketer. Also, any word on "cricket school" Kings doing anything on 11 April to celebrate 170 years since the birth of their only Test player, Hugh Massie.

Wow. Imagine if they named teachers nowadays.

I suspect the joke may have slipped past you.

Is Zac Fittler the first player to ever get selected for Australian Schoolboys/ u18s from the GPS 3rd XV?

Beating teams in trials is meaningless.

My understanding is that he didn't actually play much 1sts soccer while at school, possibly for similar reasons he was asked to move on from the Sydney academies and Aussie clubs didn't have much interest.

Is GPS football played at a high standard? Joey went back to back in 2022 and 2023 yet can't field two teams in all underage age groups.

I wouldn't be expecting too much out of the cricket this year. In the 2nd XI, only three batsmen managed to pass 100 runs from the 14 game season. As a team they were defeated with a bonus point in 12 out of 14 games, which in is fair effort given the bar for a bonus point is set pretty high.

https://waratahs.rugby/news/nsw-waratahs-u14s-and-u15s-team-announcements-202487 There are 23 GPS kids in these squads. Day 1 of the Camden carnival clashes with the AAGPS athletics, which no doubt many of these will be competing in. It is going to be interesting to see how this will pan out as...

Are you saying that after all these years we now have a team worthy of sending overseas to compete with the UK and French teams?

The way it is shaping up, probably the shortest period of goodwill from opposition schools following a GPS premiership as well.

What a great comp. Over 10 games, the top team lost 30% of their games, and the bottom team had a points difference of -19, an average of just 1.9 per game.
