Hearing a rumour that the AAGPS jumped early and games may be back on. A couple of schools pushed for the cancellation but some discussions with NSW Health may see the competition start either this week or next week.
Lets hope sanity prevails. Ridiculous that club rugby can still go ahead with one parent but GPS is halted with no spectators.
Spectators is not the only consideration. The ability to rejigger the club rugby draw so teams play only other teams in the same zones is what they are looking at doing. Whilst I think that can be made to work in a fashion for juniors, ie Gordon Village clubs only play each other, I don’t think it would work for sub districts or the grade competitions.

I guess we will know by the end of today when SJRU releases their revised draw.....but I can imagine that if they create zones (let’s call them Northern, Western, South Western, Southern and Eastern ) they could make a fair fist of it. No question that there will be some challenges because Northern has the most players but that’s the environment we live in.....at least for this season.

My guess is that they will take a very liberal view of what a zone is and continue to monitor attendance, temperature etc. far more dangerous to walk through Westfield than play rugby in my non medical person opinion. Anyway, rugby is the game they play in heaven. We have god on our side...

Rumours are GPS is back on! Just a one week delay.. thank the rugby gods!

I think it will be and I suspect that it will involve all matches having to be played on grounds inside the school perimeters. These can be controlled so that only players and schools staff are allowed access.

IGSSA girls schools hockey missed last week and is back on this week in a zonal format - Queenwood, Loreto K, Monte, Wenona, Roseville and Ravenswood in a northern grouping. Not exactly analogous to GPS, but the point being that they have been able to satisfy the government of their safety measures.
