Joker, wasn't it Kings v Joeys in 98? I also remember that they could not interview the players post match.

Thanks very much Rudderless.
Aloysius and Grammar very close as expected but what a win to Kinross.
Cheers

3rd XV Report - Trial 1
Joeys
The match at Hunters Hill against Gregs 1st XV was excellent preparation for the season. Even though Joeys lost 10-15, it was two tries each and only a conversion and penalty separated the teams. Gregs have two huge locks and plenty of speed out wide that really tested the Joeys defence. Joeys are off to Oakhill next week and that will be an interesting match.
Riverview
The reported 59-5 win against Barker goes to show that the defending premiers mean business this year and are off to a strong start. Barker have struggled with depth in recent times even though their 1sts are generally very strong. Riverview 3rds shouldn't have too much trouble with Waverley next week if the Newington result is any indication.
Scots
A good result at Bellevue Hill defeating Stannies 2nds by 24-14. Scots can be contenders this year - they have shown promise in previous years but havent won the 3rd XV competition since 2014. Next week they play a trial against defending co-premiers Kings at North Parramatta so that should be an excellent indication of their prospects.
Shore
A good 19-7 win over Oakhill was an excellent start to the season for Shore 3rd XV. They play Knox away next weekand would be favoured to win that also.
Grammar
A close 7-10 loss to St Aloysius 1st XV is not a bad result for Grammar, with St Aloyisius improving in recent seasons, however Aloyisius recently lost to Pius so I would like to see a few more Grammar results to indicate where they are this year. They travel to Kinross next week and that should be a good match up after Kinross demolished TAS.
TAS
An opening defeat for TAS by 0-42 at the hands of Kinross would not be the way that TAS wanted to open the season. Still it's early days and there's a bit of time for TAS to build some form for the season.
High
A 14-24 loss to Riverview 4ths is not a bad start to the season for the revitalised High 1st XV. Reports are that they will be stronger this year than recent seasons and that's good news. They play Newington next week who are coming off a big win at Waverley so that should be interesting.
Kings
I did not see a Kings 3rd XV result yesterday with their 1st XV playing Eastwood but I am sure they will be in good form and ready to take on Scots next week.

Hey Subbies.
In that Kings v Joeys game I recall watching my mates son Jarrod Saffey playing.
The game was televised from Hunters Hill.
Jarrod was in the 1st XV in 2002 for this game.
The 1998 game was indeed Joeys v Kings....the College record states...
I had made an error earlier by stating it was Riverview

1 for a draw
3 points for the win
5 points if the win is achieved between 1-5 points over your margin spread
10 points if you tip the exact margin

10 for the Shore game as he picked the winner with the EXACT margin
5 for the Kings game (his tip was 5 points OVER the winning margin and within the boundary set)
3 for the Scots win
3 for the Newington win
If you have any issues with the scores PLEASE let me know.
I will correct it as soon as possible.
I do make errors and I do appreciate the feedback.
A message works best please.

Anyone know Riverview Barker 15A's?

Your tips were
View lost 0 points
Joeys lost 0 points
Shore won by 12 BUT this was short of the margin spread. If you picked +15, +16, +17, +18 or +19 you would get 5 points. Under is just 3
Kings won 3
Scots won 3
Newington won 3
Total- 12.
The spread works like this.
There were once five tippers from Sydney’s north shore. They gave me their tips for the weekend on this game Shore v Scots at Stirling Bridge.
Final score
Shore 32 Scots 0 (Shore wins +32)
| Name | Their tip | Points awarded |
| Biff | Shore +28 | 3 (His tip won but his tip was UNDER the points margin) |
| Tadd | Shore +32 | 10 (exact margin) |
| Sterling | Shore +34 | 5 (he was over and within 5 points margin spread) |
| Magnus | Shore +39 | 3 (his predicted margin was beyond the 5 point margin spread) |
| Chad | DRAW | 0 (This is the hardest and no one has done this) |
Hope this helps. Please message again if you have questions

Interesting week of games.
Knox getting the W over Joeys might bring out the best in Shore. I think over the course of the game Knox will squeeze it out. Clearly got some fitness to come over the top of a Joeys team even with a lot of subs.
Newington v Barker could be the pick of the games IMO. Newington travelling well and Barker have some size and potential ability. Usually what you say about a Waverly team. Barometer game for many watching as well.
Oakhill v Joeys: Hard to judge this. Head automatically goes to a Joeys blow out but it's old school thinking by hearing the name Oakhill but they are a different program now. I expect Joeys to get it done relatively well.
Riverview v Waverly: Hard to see a clear favourite into this one as I haven't seen anything of Waverly. I'll say View seem fitter this year and if they can stay disciplined might get it in a close one. I'm one-eyed here and I know it.
Kings v Scots: My other option for game of the week but it could be more of a trial than New v Barker. Both coming off big wins against questionable opposition standard.
