Pats go down to Aloys. Someone call the mortician, St Pats rugby is dead.

Now that the combined trial period is over and the ISA season is starting next week, I have put together all the results that I know of from this trial period.
I believe the results place Auggies as the clear favorites to win the comp this year with the Stannies/Auggies game to be the GF.
I will aim to write-up some season previews for each team shortly.

This is very helpful indeed, Mr ISA! To the Gregs list you can add W 39-24 TAS. Which Kings team did Gregs play?

Sorry Jim I've made an error. I meant to write W 39-24 TAS rather than Kings. Kings didn't play Greg's. Sorry for the confusion!
I am cross-posting this on GPS/CSA and ISA Forums. I am trying to put together a full preseason results list for the eight schools playing in the GPS Thirds Comp. These are the results as I have them at the moment. There are gaps and i'm sure errors. All help in rectifying them gratefully received GPS Thirds Eight Schools CompetingSt Joseph’s Thirds ResultsW 26-7 Riverview ThirdsW 24-21 Scots ThirdsL 24-14 St Aloysius FirstsW 24-14 St Pats FirstsW 33-22 Oakhill FirstsW 24-14 JoeysScots Thirds ResultsL 24-21 Joey’s ThirdsW 33-5 Newington ThirdsW 44-12 St Pius FirstsW 19-5 High FirstsGrammar Firsts ResultsL 43-3 St Pats FirstsL 41-10 St Aloysius FirstsL 24-6 TAS FirstsL 50-5 St Gregs FirstsL 46-11 CranbrookTAS Firsts ResultsL 41-10 Kinross FirstsW 24- 6 Grammar FirstsL 46-14 Cranbrook FirstsL 39-24 St Gregs FirstsKings Thirds ResultsW by 50 points Barker ThirdsShore Thirds ResultsW 17-5 Knox ThirdsL 33-12 Joey’s FourthsW 69-0 Trinity ThirdsW 46-0 Barker ThirdsHigh Firsts ResultsW 41-17 St Pius FirstsL 19-5 Scots FirstsRiverview ThirdsW 48-0 Knox ThirdL 26-7 Joeys Thirds
Jim how do you find the GPS Thirds competition? I think it's a sensible measure given the logistical and demographical issues some schools face but would be keen to hear about what it's like at the coal face.

Has ISA announced their Rep teams yet?

I believe those selected have been advised. From memory in the past few years they wont release the teams to the public until the last moment.
AICES, CCC and CHS have been announced and can be found on the Australians Schools Championships thread.
Based on previous form, CAS and GPS wont be announced until the week before the NSW Schools Championships
Hi DaSchmooze. I will write a proper reply because it is a very interesting (and important) question. The short answer is that it' been a considerable success. Mist importantly, it's given boys from smaller rugby schools (smaller in terms of numbers. not commitment or contribution) the chance to continue playing serious rugby with a recognised prize. It's helped maintain the infrastructure of and interest in rugby in the country and especially in Northern NSW. It's strengthened the GPS by keeping more boys involved in GPS sport. It's created a small barrier, a small space, against the overwhelming dominance of big schools whose numbers and resources have been crowding out others. All these things are good, but there have been problems as well connected with byes and logistics. One effect is that the comp is no longer a total GPS comp with New withdrawing.
