Not to worry Joker. I am just so out of touch. I know nothing about TAS this year nor indeed the thirds in general. I have been covided! I can tell you that TAS and Canberra Grammar attended a rugby camp at Kinross (photo), that the TAS under 12 carnival continued but limited this time to...

Based on this, it would appear that TAS has no trials! I hope that's not the case.

Well done Grammar. I knew that you were good but so were Joeys. I wasn't sure that you could do it.

TAS Firsts are presently playing Farrer Firsts in the final of the New England Junior Rugby comp. It's being broadcast on Facebook. This is our only chance to see what TAS looks like this year https://www.facebook.com/NewEnglandRugbyUnion/videos/248095639904573

Thank you!

Hi INP. it's not quite true to say Newington replaced TAS in the 3rds comp. TAS had to pull out because none of the Sydney schools would travel to Armidale. TAS was prepared to travel to Sydney for the away games so they were scheduled as "friendly" away games. Then when increased covid 19...

Highly unlikely. As a smaller school with travel time and costs, TAS's involvement in GPS sport has always had a selective element, but the school has invested reasonably heavily. Up until the seventies, the school participated in the competitions in shooting (highly competitive) and athletics...

The School advised me: "Jim - the competition has started but TAS is not part of it this year due to the Sydney schools deciding not to travel to Armidale for the TAS home games due to COVID. All going well TAS will play their three GPS away games as non-comp games - v Scots on 22 August, v High...

I have been very quiet partly because I have been moving back to Armidale. Got here a few months ago and have been settling in. I'm not sure on the rowing, TAS is participating. They have a four in the thirds, I think, AND an eight in the firsts. crikey. All the way from Malpas dam which I am...

I am cross posting this on the CAS and GPS forums. Some of you will be aware that TAS Head Murray Guest was killed in a car crash. His memorial service was this morning and TAS has posted it to youtube. Its' quite long, although the first 57 mins or so are photos of Murray. Murray went to...

Really loved this, Joker. You are indeed the king! Posted the graphic to the old Armidalian page because I thought that people would be interested. Nice to see the TAS blue there. Also nice that five schools have shared premiership honours over the seven years including two minnows. SJC should...

Thanks, INP! :) The comp is tight, but SJC have to be favoured with two rounds to go.

Scores from the bush. Thirds TAS 12 SBH 10, Seconds TAS 21 SBH 11, Firsts TAS 24, SBH 10

I wasn't going to be drawn, but nostalgia proved irresistible. Arriving at UNE I expected to play rugby and started with Wright College seconds. Then I discovered girls and warm bars. Girls v frost settling on the Uni fields? I fear I dropped out! Joker, they have just been having 90 years...

Thanks for this, INP. That makes sense. very helpful! :)

i should write something properly on this, FF (Folau Fainga'a), because there are so many issues involved. I will do so elsewhere with just a note here. Forgive me if I seem to be teaching grandmother to suck eggs. I am using your comment to make some broader points. Nine schools play GPS rugby, six in the...

The results in the thirds were SJC 26, Grammar I0, Riverview 21 High 0, Shore 12 Scots 10!, TAS 33 Kings 0. On points SJC and Riveview are both 8, TAS 6, Grammar and Scots 3, Kings and Shore 2, High 0. I haven't checked the maths on cominggames, but it's looking very interesting. SJC and iggies...

TAS 2nds won 14 to 10 v Kings 5ths TAS 1sts won 33 Nil in a reported "powerful game of outstanding team work."

I will follow up for you
