Seems like the big fish wants to stay in the little pond.

No wonder people have the impression of the GPS they do.
As I said on the ISA thread to similar ill informed comments about Auggies

"With due respect and not wanting to get into a bun fight. People who needed to know knew.
if Joeys didn't speak to the people who are in charge of putting this together or they didn't speak to Joeys that is not Auggies fault.. Auggies and most people with rugby knowledge knew nearly 12 months ago that Auggies would be at Sanix.
Try a bit of praise for their efforts in SANIX rather than this negative incorrect material"

Big pond the GPS. How many teams?

Big is a relative concept.
Not only is it not big it’s pretty shallow.
It’s fed by a shallow gene pool just slightly upstream.

Grow up you guys. Fact - St Augustine’s advised Joeys last week of term 1. To expect Joeys should have known that you decided to thumb your nose and go to Japan is ridiculous. Downright rude and don’t expect an invite again anytime soon. Joeys should have pulled the whole card but that would have only affected all the other kids from both schools.

Despite the gulf between the CAS and GPS 1sts competition narrowing markedly over the past few years, the depth of the GPS schools still seems to be a good deal greater than the depth of the CAS. Shore 4ths up by a good margin in the first half against Knox.

 

[Up the Guts]

Shore 4ths go on to win comfortably, despite a rather non-impartial refereeing performance.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Thanks for the updates UTG, keep them coming

Joeys 16F 58 beat St Pius A 10
Now that is a gulf.

BTW...St Augustine's played Joeys A grade teams in other age groups.

Joeys 13A 59 St Augustine's 0
Joeys 14A 7 St Augustine's 42
Joeys 15A 31 St Augustine's 21
Joeys 16A 20 St Augustine's 0

1st XV game would have been interesting

 

[Up the Guts]

3rds 17-5 to Shore. A bit scrappy but Shore backs were clearly dominant.

 

[Up the Guts]

First time I've been to Knox's main oval, very pleasant atmosphere and plenty of seats for viewing but the lack of a warm up area seems to be a bit of an issue. Teams have been warming up in the 22 while the prior game goes on which can lead to a few hairy situations.

 

[Joker]

a few hairy situations.

Surely you are not talking about the Knox pie? One of the best in the CAS, almost as good as the famous Northbridge pie.

 

[Up the Guts]

almost as good as the famous Northbridge pie.

Blasphemy.

 

[Up the Guts]

Currently, 17-0 to Shore in the 2s.

 

[Black & White]

Newington is playing Oakhill with a strong representation by Oakhill in the 13s (5 teams) and 15s (4 teams). !4s are fielding 3 teams and 16s just two and 5 in the opens. Unfortunately, Newington don't set out their teams on their website so their numbers are something of a mystery until team numbers are finalised.
Nevertheless, if any New or Oak supporters can provide results they would deeply, appreciated. Work commitments prevent me from attendance, prior to my departure to the UK.

Joeys 16F 58 beat St Pius A 10
Now that is a gulf.

Was shocked by the Pius result as I have heard that aren't a bad side- so I checked the Pius draw.
It reads:
16C 11:00 St Joseph’s College College E (St Josephs)
Unless they mixed it around, it was the Pius 16C's (their lowest team in that age).
The 16A side was playing against Cranbrook at Hordern.

 

[Up the Guts]

Shore 29-7 over Knox in the 2nds.

Joeys 2nd XV 12 St Gregory's 1st XV 5 after 16 minutes

My source needs a kick up the butt then. Thank you for the correction. That sounds better.
