Unfortunately I do not have time to do all grades and there are many great commentators who are already covering the main games. In the last few years I have reported on the 3rds competition as it is close to my heart. I played 3rds. My brother played 3rds. My son played 3rds. It's a great...

I don't think its going unnoticed. Full INP preview on Thursday as usual. I just ran into a group of Grammar students in the city and they are all fired up for the big game. INP

3rd XV Round 6 Report What a day it was today in the 3rd XV competition with only two teams now having any chance to win the premiership and no possibility of it being shared. Grammar had the expected win over High and remain on top of the table. Then Shore upset Scots to move a point ahead of...

3rd XV Round 6 Preview It's the second last round and there are still a number of teams that can win the premiership, but some outcomes are more likely than others. If Scots and Grammar both win their last two games then they share the Col Windon Shield. But if Shore can beat Scots and Grammar...

3rd XV Round 5 Preview We are getting to the business end of the season, and this is a crucial round with only three weeks left in the comp. Theoretically, six teams can still win or share the premiership, but a few of those possibilities will be determined this Saturday. Grammar and Scots...

3rd XV Round 4 Preview After the term break and representative GPS games, it’s back to the business of the 3rd XV competition.

Fair and equitable selection is a problem in all sports, particularly at grass roots level, because the people selecting often have a conflict of interest. But even in sports where there are clear performances by times, the problem still persists. Look at the female marathon selections for Paris...

Thank you @Maul of Duty and others for reporting these games to those of us unable to watch.

Term 3 at Joeys commences Tuesday 23 July. I am not sure about the other schools. AAGPS continues the winter competitions immediately on the following Saturday 27 July.

Saturday 27 July after holidays.

Sully, I respect that you are a Staff Member, but it is pretty disrespectful for you to call non-schoolboy members of this forum "toolies" like we are crashing in on a school event (like Schoolies). And I think you have missed the point completely. Nobody objects to schoolboy comments on this...
