bad break to his left thumb - bone protruding, pointing one way and the rest his of thumb going the other. Very nasty.
Anyone got a review of Joeys vs View?
Pity about the 5thsOh my goodness. My head is somewhat fuzzy. Was a wonderful game. View punched on two runaway intercepts from Gibbs and the scored flattered them I thought. Joeys were rattled at 20-8 but hit back before half time. The ref did give some help (for a change) but by the end, I was starting to feel "under the weather" due to the night before and the warm ups at the HHH. Great reunion at Jacks, plenty of people and plenty of lunatics. I was positioned throughout the game in the northern end near the View old boys who were enjoying the banter between the View lunatics and SJC 5 and 10 year reunions. The fence broke and there were 10 security guards in front of the group and 6 police behind. Plenty of lads were escorted out due to D&D. Light weights! Plus it was a lovely break from my usual reporting of the results throughout the day. Only heard last night of Scots esacpe at the Hill. Hope some vision emerges soon.
I think these were the major ones.

Once again, God has declared the Marists are the stronger faith than the lace Catholics of Lane Cove. Back to bed.
I think that opening period was so important it defined Newington's win.The 1st XV game was a remarkably tough and Difficult game for Newington despite the score. Shore started with a dominance in both possession and territory, but failed to score as Newington's defence proved more than a Match for Shore's resolute efforts in attack.

Shore threw everything including the kitchen sink at New.
An All Black-like line out trick 5m out - defused by New.
Dummy run-around from line out with only the paint in sight - defused by New.
Pick and go right up to and over the paint - Shore held up by sterling New defence. Three or four times!
New down to 14 men for 10 - defence adjusted.
After that it was all jet shoes amongst the New backs. Boy they have some strike weapons.

Any scores from Scots v Kings in A grades?
They are now doing their wheel of pain on their return to the College
Yes, on the bell. Scots won 13As and kings won the 14As, fairly convincingly I believe.I understand that Scots won the 15As by about a try.
Unsure, but we got our answer to the battle of the Catholics.
