Shore’s last Golden Year would’ve been 1908 when they won the Head of the River, The First XV, the Athletics and were runners up in the swimming.@Joker @The Chairman please help me out here, when was the last time that Joeys won the Rowing and the Rugby premiership’s? Also, Joeys as a non traditional rowing school winning HOTR, and Shore placing second. Whilst Shore as a non traditional rugby school winning the rugby, with Joeys in second!

Lots of respect between the two schools. Dominance recognises dominance. One owns the paddock, the other the water. There is most certainly a mutual respect for eachothers programs that each school reveres.At one game in 1996? the entire Joeys school sat there for 15min while the Shore boys completed their cheers.
When the Shore boys left the oval, the Joeys SCHOOL stood and gave them three cheers and a standing ovation.
At that moment my best mate John turned to me and said, "I know we won the game on the board but why do I feel that we didn't?" My old Knox prep teacher Mr David Andersen spoke to me years later at Shore and said it was the classiest thing he had ever seen. "If you win like champions then so you should know how to lose like one" If Shore win this weekend you may see the same as a sign of respect between the two schools.
Shore also won gps cricket and basketball in 2021 while placing second at HOTRShore’s last Golden Year would’ve been 1908 when they won the Head of the River, The First XV, the Athletics and were runners up in the swimming.
This year could be close however, 2nd at HOTR, won 2/3 swimming, possible First XV premiership, possible First XI premiership, and 3rd for the cricketers.
might add they were 2nd at nationals that year and were undefeated heading into HOTRShore also won gps cricket and basketball in 2021 while placing second at HOTR
