3rd XV - Trial 2
Plenty of great match ups this weekend for the second trial week and great disappointment that the AAGPS will not be broadcasting any 3rd XV games on Streamer this year. It will make it a bit difficult for INP to remain on top of the form but I will do my best continue to report as usual.

Joeys 3rd XV v St Augustine's 2nd XV
This one promises to be a great contest at Hunters Hill and a great curtain-raiser for Joeys 2nd XV v Oakhill 1st XV. Joeys 3rds are coming off the back of a loss to Stannies 1sts in Bathurst and will be much better for the run.

St Stanislaus 3rd XV v Scots 3rd XV
Scots appear to be playing Stannies in all open grades this week so it will be interesting to see how they go. Scots 3rds will want to start the season well as they embark on their defence of the 3rd XV premiership from 2023.

St Aloysius 1st XV v Riverview 3rd XV
A tough assignment for Riverview this week at North Willoughby. I do recall that the only game the Joeys championship 3rd XV lost in 2019 was in a trial against Aloysius 1st XV. These games are good preparation for the 3rd XV competition season.

Newington 3rd XV v Kings 3rd XV (I think it's 3rds v 3rds)
While Newington don't play in the 3rd XV competition they will relish the opportunity to play Kings in this trial. Should be a great match and let's hope that Johnson can withstand the heavy rain that is predicted.

Shore 3rd XV v Knox 3rd XV
The 1:00pm fixture at Northbridge and worth it just to get one of those pies that Joker always raves about. Shore appear to have excellent depth this year and this trial will confirm the predictions of a positive season for them.

Shore 4th XV v High 1st XV
I noticed this one on the Shore fixtures even though it is not on the AAGPS web site. A good test for High 1st XV early on and will be interested to see if they can notch a win here.

The AAGPS web site says that Grammar are playing Greg's this Saturday but Grammar fixtures say they are training. Stay tuned.

Too early in the season to make predictions in any of these but hope you enjoy the contests. I will be at Hunters Hill in the rain as usual.

new up and coming talent spotted at the st aloys vs Sydney grammar game on the weekend. Number 6 for grammar proving a threat and is undeniably a dominant boy. Eyes up for GPS selectors - hopefully he isn't overlooked in the 3s comp

Hi Allthingsfooty,

Yes spotted this as well. I have connections at Aloys and heard he absolutely dominated what was thought to be a fairly strong forward pack. He looks to be of Mediterranean heritage and obviously has that Greek Flare. Did anyone else catch the game?

Shame he is not playing against 1XV quality competition, pretty hard to judge anything from a game against at 1st XV that probably wouldn’t win a game in GPS 3rd grade.

Can anyone shed any light on a current line-up for the Shore 2nd XV? The 1's are coming together nicely and was wonder who is waiting in the wings.

I will always refer to the Scots home ground as SIRC. Speaking of right now I bet it is 5 feet underwater.

A very year 11-based squad, I think they will finish mid-table. They are heavily forward centred, with the likes of Garner, Frape and Armati (all year 11s) seeming to have a crack at the First Squad. Coached by Mr Ed Craig, who himself played Hooker for Eastwood and the Waratahs, they appear to have the weaponry to make some good plays. The question is regarding the cohesion in the backs. The dominance in the forwards is there, though the question of the backs being able to put points on the board remains.
