I don't get your comments and a few that have said the same thing. Ash had no pride in the jersey, seriously ????? As I stated previously, there has been knockers carrying on with this dribble. Padua won and good on them- well deserved , but no pride in the Ash jersey. Fair dinkum, Ashgrove lost by 2 points and gave it everything, it just didn't go there way. Its funny if Ash win, no one mentions pride, they would more then likely be saying, courage got the smaller team home or pride and guts got them the win. The game I watched both teams gave it to each other, Padua came over the top and it was the game of the year probably the last few years. Let the young men be and enjoy what is school boy rugby. Don't worry, from what I saw after the game these kids are hurting more then any comments getting thrown around on green and gold, the kids that have been training for 6- 8 months 4 to 5 days a week looking forward to every game. Hopefully they don't read these sites and just do what they have been doing and that's enjoying school boy rugby with their mates.
Ashgrove won't dominate forever and it may be Padua for the next few years? But surely everyone must realise that these kids gave it everything, they were spent at full time and went down by 2 points, not 32 or 52..... That's when I would say they threw the towel in or had no pride or even like some of the other schools just out of their depth. But they lost by 2 points in a great game. I disagree - they have pride and that was evident by the effort put in.
Hold your head high Ashgrove and all other School Boy Rugby Players !!
