Thanks for that. Sounded like an interesting game.

I was at the game and wasn't overly convinced of Eddies performance however three games in a week can do that to a team. Broken play will be a feature, not sure what they will deliver without a decisive 10. Often see Eddies sides insist on playing a structure & patterns outside their strengths. Maturity and leadership at 10 is the issue. Confident they will win AIC.
considering he was a standout in the near-premiership winning Churchie side last year I'd expect him to be right up there in terms of the best AIC playersdean van heteran swemmer (marist) will be one of the wingers in this AIC representative side. no doubts.
Where is Tevita Maka? Does he even go to Marist anymore?Possible Marist XV

From watching the trial games this is the strongest side to come out of the games. Few surprises but very strong.
From my spies at the Lauries v Iona game, I have heard that is was one of the worst games of football seen. Plenty of dropped ball from both sides, skill level down. Hoping for better.A largely second-string Iona First XV defeated an almost full-strength St Lauries side yesterday. Final score was 20-17 Iona's way, with Iona scoring four tries (Jack Johanson 1, Josh McKersey 2, Mitch Wiffler 1) and Lauries scoring 3 tries (2 forward push-overs and an individual try to Lachie Grey) and a conversion (Tim Robinson). St Lauries were well drilled and structured in attack and looked dangerous with the ball in hand, scoring twice before Iona was on the board. However, Iona counter-attacked well through their backs and Lauries defended poorly outwide, with all four Iona tries coming as a result of back play or expansive ball movement. Despite this, Iona's discipline was very poor, and a player was sin-binned for repeated ruck infringements. Regardless, both sides showed promise and will definately be worth watching during the season.

From my spies I hear villa played out of their skin to go down 20-5. By all means an admirable effort against a side that really should expect to win 8 games in the tougher GPS competitionAlso, any comments or points from Villa's trial against Churchie? And any other games played yesterday?
Kyle Blackman made AIC1 last year as a fullback. He dropped out because he wanted to play confraternity. All I'm saying is hes more skillfull, stronger and faster to be even playing AIC2.I know it's very early days, but early prediction for AIC teams:
