Not to mention season results in 1sts, 2nds and the age group A teams.
I watched the St Patrick's v Kinross game on Saturday. Kinross were too good, with St Patrick's scoring a late try to make the score respectable.
However, the two things I will take away from the match are these - you don't have to be a giant to be an effective back rower in schoolboy rugby - the Kinross #7 was outstanding and possibly the shortest player on the field - his work rate and effort was terrific. The other thing I will take away is that the rugby gods have a funny way of bringing over confident young players down to earth - Kinross #15 looks to have a bit of talent but his over confidence and smug behaviour will stop him from going any further than ISA 1s - putting your arm up in celebration of a try at the 22 and then getting tackled is quite frankly immature and poor sportsmanship - I trust the Kinross coaching staff have given him a right talking to and a school detention for that - he looks quite young so hopefully a bit more humble next year perhaps?

Cuz : St Gregs are a good side they play Auggies at home in 2 weeks should be a great game for the ISA title.
With Gregs going down to Oakhill this week Graham I can't help but feel as if Pius are the underdogs this season. Only time will tell with plenty of time for the boys to come backl

There is 3 games left and Gregs and Auggies are the only teams left undefeated. Pius have lost to Gregs, Oakhill and I am sure another loss to Auggies this week. There is no chance of a come back. Gregs actually beat Oakhill 31-12. Was an excellent game that was very physical in the hit out.

what a great win to the Stannies lads CB!
There certainly was some fantastic rugby played on Saturday at Oakhill College.
Also many thanks to Oakhill for your hospitality, I always enjoy a trip to the BBQ when Im there.

Pius 1st XV win at Breen for the first time since 1997!!!!
Well done the boys from Chatswood- been a loooong season for St Pats - I think they play Stannies at Bathurst this week to get off the mark. Tough ask I’d say.

2nd XV and 14A competition grand finals this weekend. Pat's and Stannies 2nd XVs and 14As all undefeated - certainly will be two match ups closely watched by all at Stannies on Saturday. Pat's and Stannies 2nd XVs both have similar score lines against opposition teams - will be an cracking match up (would one go as far to suggest that it is the match of the day? The writing is certainly on the wall for the 3:15pm match up, Stannies by plentyyyy). Let's hope officiating isn't the talk of the town in the aftermath of what is going to be two thrilling grand finals.
14As - Stannies by the smallest of margins
2nd XV - cannot split it, but with the home ground advantage Stannies by a whisker
