Does anyone have a likely first XV for Waverley or even the team that played Cranbook.
I also have heard they are not that strong this year (although a little surprised). I know next year or esp 2016 they will be a very decent side. Their 16As should do very well
what is doing at waverleyAugustines def Waverley 82-0 in 1sts. Some big wins in ages groups as well.
Oakhill win 21-13 against Barker. <snip>
What do you mean not good enough for a GPS School?Not sure of the score at the end of the New v Knox game but New were terrible. While they did have a lot of players out and it was the first game it was not good enough for a GPS School. The only thing worse was the refereeing, it was disgraceful. Which was a shame as the rest of the day had good fair refereeing. Knox deserved to win most definitely but the guy in the middle was an embarassment.
***25-15Aloys 35 - Pius 14, tough match aloys very efficient look very young though
What do you mean not good enough for a GPS School?
Last year 3 GPS Schools played their 1's in a thirds comp.
Newington fielded their 1st XV in the 2nds comp,whilst an invitational side competed on their behalf in the 1's comp.
Another GPS School couldn't win a game last year.
And yet another GPS School was sanctioned for the manner in which they fielded a 1st XV.
Doesn't leave many Schools left,to be upholding these lofty standards to which you ascribe!
Meanwhile in the nursery, Knox 14As won 2 tries to nil v 2013 13A GPS winners New, following on from a 7 tries to 2 win over Joeys last week. Early days I know and aths missing from GPS teams, but Yr 9s on cadet camp missing from Knox. With 16As also winning against Joeys last week and 15As close with a strong Joeys side, augurs well for the future of Knox rugby.
That's my point silly.no lofty standards, just expect better rugby from those boys. Sorry if I stirred up the chip that lives on your shoulder
I dout it.

Yes 25-15, 5 tries to 2 tries.
Aloys deserved the victory. Their rolling maul was strong, and their backline exposed the Pius weaknesses (missing their centre with concussion meant a reorg in their backline and it was exposed several times because players were playing out of position, and many times far too flat in attack). An Aloys intercept try, and a try against 14 men probably shouldn't have occurred because of an earlier "head high", but that's the game. Still 5 tries to 2. The Pius "Old Boys" played like a 16th man many times with several mistakes made by Aloys players on the "Old Boys" touch line - quite amusing at times.
Aloys backline were solid across the board, and Pius defended very well in the second half with almost the entire second half played on their try line.
