And so ends another season. A great game at OakHill to finish the ISA opens Div 1 comp. From the outset, it was looking like a high scoring game. The problem for Pats was that the high scoring was being done by OakHill. Pats were shell-shocked as OakHill rampaged to a 20 point lead, towards...

St Pats will be chuffed to be featured in such lofty circles. Whilst the ISA premiership is out of their grasp, a victory would give them bragging rights of putting Oakhill back to second place (possibly); "Premier killers 2014", the T-shirts will read. Order early, these will go fast. The...

Yesterday's opens XV at Breen really does warrant a second review. A bunch of drover's dogs against a more fancied rival. Pats had the better pre-game situation; the underdogs, who needed to play above themselves to match their rival. St Augustine's needed to win. They had the burden of being...

St Pats v St Augustines is shaping up to be the match of the round. Both teams have lost a game and are separated on the table by one bonus point. The loser of this match will be watching other results, to see if they can finish the comp in third place. On the other hand, the winner retains a...

St Pats 1st XV have an ISA bye. The have organised a run with Kings 3rds. I don't know if 2nds, 3rds and 4ths have an opponent for this weekend. With a mounting toll of illness and injuries, Pat's will have the doctors working overtime to get the squad on the paddock for the remaining ISA...

Well said; a criminal today, a hero tomorrow!

Thanks for the interesting discussion. I would urge everyone to re-read my match report at post #325. I'm happy to take feedback and corrections. I was careful not to suggest that any team, or supporters, has a clean record on behaviour. I think we all agree here, on what is poor form. I don't...

Full report from Pius v Pats 1st XV. This was a tough physical game. There was some pre-game 'hype' and Pius came out firing. Pat's scrambling defence held out for the first 10 minutes; but Pius were on fire and crossed to make it 7-0. This was a great lead against the breeze and the first...

Yeah, good call, IS. They're probably sitting in the same room, talking about Saturday's Prep A game.

Really surprised to see this naming and shaming. I'm just a passer-by in this thread. I can only assume you've done quantitative research on the "most school's" 6ths wingers; who would keep him out of a spot. Well done on this level of research for what would, otherwise, have looked like a...

Thanks Robert, great to hear St Greg's has so much depth of talent, playing rugby. Pat's travel away this Saturday to meet Pius at Oxford Falls. This is always a tightly contested match. Pius always play hard and there will be a heap of supporters to fire up their team. My prediction 21 -...

Thanks Robert. I haven't heard much about Greg's this year. Are you talking about their opens? I didn't think they had 3rds and 4ths in Rugby Union. Keep us posted on how they are going. We haven't seen all their trial and ISA results.

It wasn't a pretty game at Barker on Saturday Morning. The weather and facilities were perfect, but the rugby was a little rusty. The holiday cobwebs seemed to have a firm grasp on the play today. At times, this looked like a competition for who wanted to lose the most. Barker chose the...

That is a conclusion on this score alone QH; but not really applicable here, for a number of reasons. Word on the sideline is that Greg's were down 8 regular firsts, due to injury. Players came up from the seconds and U16's to make up the numbers. And yet, Greg's second XV recorded a...

Mother nature really smiled on the Rugby carnival at Orange, on the weekend, where St Pats made the journey to Kinross territory. Punters were digging through their luggage, in the hope that they may have brought a T-shirt, amongst the jumpers and scarves. Whilst the match-of-the-round was at...

St Pats travel over the range to meet Kinross at Orange. Keen to back-up last weeks domination of Stannies, Pat's need to overcome the geographical shift and put their best game on the paddock. Cilona and James(ISA 2014) will lead the 'no-name' forwards(ISA & SJRU 16's 2012 & 2013) to continue...

St Pat's 21 Stannies 5 A great match at Breen on a balmy Saturday afternoon. First match of the ISA comp and St Pats starting as underdogs; the scene was set for some intriguing rugby. The first 10 minutes was very even and each side went about their business. A routine scrum deep in...

I heard some feedback from the opens trials up at Oxford Falls. There were 4 sets of jerseys; red, green, light blue, dark blue. Red played green, then light blue played dark blue. After lunch, 4 new teams were named and placed into the jerseys. There were more players than jerseys, so some...

Good call Billy Black - Great weather at Breen for the arm wrestle between Pats and Pius. A good hit out for both teams and I'm happy to add my report to the mix. Let's not pretend these were any second rate teams or teams which are ravaged by absence or injury. It's a 'cheap shot' to suggest...
