Game day.

And it's odd, because there are three schools in the hunt for a premiership, but it doesn't really feel like a cliffhanger.

Waverley, of course, will be premiers no matter what happens. And I would love Trinity to upset them at Summer Hill this afternoon. But I can't see it happening. Waverley has too much gas, and Trinity probably pushed itself to the peak of its potential in beating Cranbrook and Barker. Knox put 50 points on Trinity; Waverley is better than Knox. Logic says that Waverley wins. I can't see Waverley being complacent about this one - it's their last game for the school and they're playing for an unbeaten premiership.

At the start of the season, when Waverley was struggling, I thought that Knox v Barker was likely to be the premiership decider. Now Knox looks by far the stronger side and I expect them to win fairly comfortably today. Even then they'll need a miracle at Summer Hill to get their hands on a share of the Plume Shield.

And I expect Cranbrook to flat-track-bully a win over St Aloysius.

It would be nice to be wrong (for once).

Snort,

I will say, as a Waverley supporter, Trinity will be well prepared and excited for the game today. So it is anyone’s game. While Waverley would no doubt love undefeated, Trinity have had a hard 12 months as a school, so it would also be no shame in sharing the title.
Good luck to all today.

What happened ???

People are sleeping on Aloysius. The crowd for the soccer is huge, and it hasn’t stopped growing all day. Aloysius have the heart to get it done, and the crowd could certainly be a key factor in an Aloysius underdog victory.

 

[Snort]

Big crowd. Scrappy start. 3-0 Waverley.

 

[Snort]

Penalty in front. 3-3 Trinity Waverley.

 

[rod skellet]

5 nil Knox

 

[Snort]

Try saving tackle by Trinity 15.

 

[Snort]

5m scrum to Waverley. Waverley has a big size advantage in the forwards. Try on the blind side. Conversion from touch is good. 10-3.

 

[Snort]

Ref calls penalty advantage then calls a scrum when Trinity knocks on. Strange.

 

[rod skellet]

Try TJ Talaileva. 5/5

 

[FoleyBealeFolau]

7-0 cranbrook in the battle for the wooden spoon try scorer: Kaleb Ah colt

 

[rod skellet]

Try John Ryan off back of a Knox lineout that was just not straight. Great run by Malakye to set it up. 10/5

 

[rod skellet]

Try Knox ( Max Roach) . Barker with a man in bin just ran out of numbers

 

[Snort]

Attacking scrum Waverley. But Trinity wins a turnover penalty. No sign of WLF unless he’s put on 60kg and has a beard.

 

[rod skellet]

15/5. Kickers on both sides having a tough day

 

[FoleyBealeFolau]

14-0 cranbrook looks like the spoon will stay in Willoughby

 

[Snort]

Waverley try in the corner. They look much more dangerous when they get the ball wide. No conversion. 15-3.

 

[RedOrDead]

15/5. Kickers on both sides having a tough day

Barker lost last week against Trinity because of kicking struggles too. Including penalty attempts Barker converted at a 1 of 6 rate.

 

[RedOrDead]

Waverley try in the corner. They look much more dangerous when they get the ball wide. No conversion. 15-3.

Kickers struggling everywhere.
